In recent years, hospital readmissions have increased, affecting public evaluations and pay-for-performance measures. A study developed a predictive model for 90-day hospital readmission in patients undergoing elective vascular procedures. The best predictive model was Shrinkage Discriminant Analysis, which considered variables such as length of stay, comorbidity scores, procedure type, and admission type. The model indicates that efforts to reduce vascular readmissions should prioritize emergency procedures. This risk stratification allows for better identification and prevention of unnecessary readmissions, crucial in an environment where preventing unplanned readmissions is increasingly important.
