Abnormalities in temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation were assessed within 24 hours of discharge. We used logistic regression adjusted for predictors of 30-day death and readmission.<h4>Participants</h4>Adults (≥18 years) with a hospitalization to any medicine service in 2009-2010 Journal of general internal medicineVital Signs Are Still Vital: Instability on Discharge and the Risk of Post-Discharge Adverse Outcomes.PMC5215152R24 HS022418UL1 TR001105KL2 TR001103Amarasingham RHalm EAMakam ANZhang SClark CNguyen OKXie BVelasco FfalseVital Signs Are Still Vital: Instability on Discharge and the Risk of Post-Discharge Adverse Outcomes.<h4>Background</h4>Vital sign instability on discharge could be a clinically objective means of assessing readiness and safety for discharge; however, the association between vital sign instability on discharge and post-hospital outcomes is unclear.<h4>Objective</h4>To assess the association between vital sign instability at hospital discharge and post-discharge adverse outcomes.<h4>Design</h4>Multi-center observational cohort study using electronic health record data.
