Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Modestly Enhance Prediction of Readmission in Patients with Cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Patients with cirrhosis have high rates of hospital readmission, but prediction models are suboptimal and have not included important patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). In a large prospective cohort, we examined the impact of PROMs on prediction of 30-day readmissions.

Methods

We performed a prospective cohort study of adults with cirrhosis admitted to a tertiary center between June 2014 and March 2020. We collected clinical information, socioeconomic status, and PROMs addressing functional status and quality of life. We used hierarchical competing risk time-to-event analysis to examine the impact of PROMs on readmission prediction.

Results

A total of 654 patients were discharged alive, and 247 (38%) were readmitted within 30 days. Readmissio
