The prevalence of 30-day readmission after acute myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The 30-day readmission is associated with increased medical costs, which has become an important quality metric in several medical institutions. This current study is aimed at clarifying the prevalence, the underlying risk factors, and reasons of the 30-day readmission after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods

PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were systematically searched to identify eligible studies. Random-effect models were employed to perform pooled analyses. Means and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate prevalence and reasons for 30-day readmission. We also used Odds ratios (ORs) to explore the potential significant predictors of risk factors of 30-day readmission after AMI. Potential publication bias was assessed using funnel plot a
