Hospital Readmission after XXXX .

@entity1 @entity2002 @entity64 @entity6 @entity65 @entity1779
BACKGROUND: @entity1779 ( @entity1779 ) is the most severe form of @entity64 , but limited literature exists on readmission after @entity1779 . We aimed to assess frequencies, causes, and predictors of early and late readmissions within 1 year after @entity1779 . METHODS: All @entity1 admitted to the Department of Neurology at Haukeland University Hospital with acute @entity64 were prospectively included in the Bergen Norwegian @entity64 Research Registry (NORSTROKE) registry. Surviving @entity1 diagnosed with @entity1779 were followed by medical chart reviews for 1 year. The first unplanned readmission was used as final outcome, and readmitted @entity1 were defined as early readmitted ( <=90 days) and late readmitted (91-365 days). Logistic regression was performed to assess predictors for early and late readmission. RESULTS: Of 121 @entity1 discharged alive, 27 were early readmitted, and 17 were late readmitted. Within 1 year, 40.6% had at least 1 unplanned readmission. The most frequent cause of early readmission was infection, and the most frequent causes for late readmission were recurrent @entity64 and @entity65 . Nursing home discharge was the only independent predictor of early readmission. @entity6 and increased length of the index admission were independent predictors of late readmission. Early readmitted @entity1 were older and had more severe @entity64 and lower levels of @entity2002 on index admission compared with @entity1 who were readmitted late. CONCLUSIONS: Readmission after @entity1779 is frequent, and many @entity1 are early readmitted. Early and late readmissions differed in both causes and predictors for readmission, reflecting different underlying mechanisms for readmission.
