TLDR
Mong community-dwelling older adults, early hospital readmission is a marker for notably increased risk of one-year mortality, and providers, patients, and families all might respond profitably to an early readmission by reviewing treatment plans and goals of care.Abstract:
BACKGROUND
Hospital readmission within thirty days is common among Medicare beneficiaries, but the relationship between rehospitalization and subsequent mortality in older adults is not known.read more

Frailty and Early Hospital Readmission After Kidney Transplantation
Mara McAdams-DeMarco,Andrew Law,Megan L. Salter,Eric K.H. Chow,Morgan E. Grams,Jeremy D. Walston,Dorry L. Segev,Dorry L. Segev +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a measure of physiologic reserve, called frailty, was proposed as a predictor of early hospital readmission after kidney transplantation (EHR) in kidney transplant patients.

TL;DR: Final PCWP and final right atrial pressure were stronger predictors of postdischarge outcomes than CI in patients with advanced heart failure, and the ability to lower filling pressures appears to be more prognostically important than improving CI in the management of patients withAdvanced heart failure.

Cancer Prehabilitation and its Role in Improving Health Outcomes and Reducing Health Care Costs
TL;DR: Cancer prehabilitation is an opportunity to positively impact patient health-related and financial outcomes from diagnosis onward and, by decreasing the financial impact that cancer can have on individuals, may prove to be a sound investment for patients, hospitals, payers and society.

TL;DR: In this pooled analysis of individual data from 9 selected cohorts, gait speed was associated with survival in older adults and predicted survival was as accurate as predicted based on age, sex, use of mobility aids, and self-reported function.

Comprehensive discharge planning and home follow-up of hospitalized elders: a randomized clinical trial
Mary D. Naylor,Dorothy Brooten,Roberta Campbell,Barbara S. Jacobsen,Mathy Mezey,Mark V. Pauly,J. S. Schwartz +6 more
TL;DR: An advanced practice nurse-centered discharge planning and home care intervention for at-risk hospitalized elders reduced readmissions, lengthened the time between discharge and readmission, and decreased the costs of providing health care.

TL;DR: This trial demonstrated that a nurse discharge advocate and clinical pharmacist working together to coordinate hospital discharge, educate patients, and reconcile medications led to fewer follow-up emergency visits and rehospitalizations than usual care alone.
