Abstract
Hospital readmission was common and higher than previously reported rates in general medical populations. We identified several previously unrecognized factors associated with increased risk for readmission, including some geriatric assessment parameters, and developed a practical tool that can be used by clinicians to assess risk of 30-day readmission.
