TLDR
These indices are effective methods to incorporate the influence of comorbid conditions in models designed to assess the risk of in-hospital mortality and readmission using administrative data with limited clinical information, especially when small samples sizes are an issue.Abstract:
Objective:We extend the literature on comorbidity measurement by developing 2 indices, based on the Elixhauser Comorbidity measures, designed to predict 2 frequently reported health outcomes: in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission in administrative data. The Elixhauser measures are commonly usread more

A nationwide analysis of readmission rates after colorectal cancer surgery in the US in the Era of the Affordable Care Act.
TL;DR: In the US, 30-day readmission rates after CRC surgery showed a decreasing trend during 2010-2015, which could represent a spillover effect of the HRRP.

TL;DR: In conclusion, nonhome discharge TAVI patients added LOS and hospital costs compared to home discharge T AVI patients, and female sex was one of the major predictors despite the lower co-morbidities.
