Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine the correlation between hospital 30-day risk-standardized readmission rates (RSRRs) in elderly adults and those in nonelderly adults and children. DATA SOURCES/STUDY
SETTING: US hospitals (n = 1760 hospitals admitting adult patients and 235 hospitals admitting both adult and pediatric patients) in the 2013-2014 Nationwide Readmissions Database. STUDY
DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis comparing 30-day RSRRs for elderly adult (≥65 years), middle-aged adult (40-64 years), young adult (18-39 years), and pediatric (1-17 years) patients. PRINCIPAL
FINDINGS: Hospital elderly adult RSRRs were strongly correlated with middle-aged adult RSRRs (Pearson R2 .69 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.66-0.71]), moderately correlated with young adult RSRRs (Pearson R2 .44 [95% CI 0.40-0.47]), and weakly correlated with pediatric RSRRs (Pearson R2 .28 [95% CI 0.17-0.38]). Nearly identical findings were observed with measures of interquartile agreement and Kappa statistics. This stepwise relationship between age and strength of correlation was consistent across every hospital characteristic.
CONCLUSIONS: Hospital readmission rates in elderly adults, which are currently used for public reporting and hospital comparisons, may reflect broader hospital readmission performance in middle-aged and young adult populations; however, they are not reflective of hospital performance in pediatric populations. © Health Research and Educational Trust.
