Incidence and Risk Factors for 30-Day Readmission after Inpatient Chemotherapy among Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patients
Chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients is complex and intense, resulting in a high readmission rate. We aimed to identify the incidence, causes, and risk factors of readmission following inpatient chemotherapy among ALL patients, using 2016 National Readmission Database. We app...

description | Chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients is complex and intense, resulting in a high readmission rate. We aimed to identify the incidence, causes, and risk factors of readmission following inpatient chemotherapy among ALL patients, using 2016 National Readmission Database. We applied three different definitions of 30-day readmission: (1) nonelective readmission based on readmission type, (2) unplanned readmission defined by CMS, and (3) unintentional readmission, combining (1) and (2). We used unweighted multivariable Poisson regression with robust variance estimates for risk factors analysis, including patient-, hospital-, and admission-related characteristics. Percentage for nonelective, unplanned, and unintentional readmission were 33.3%, 22.4%, and 18.5%, respectively. The top three causes for unplanned readmissions were neutropenia/agranulocytosis (27.8%), septicemia (15.3%), and pancytopenia (11.5%). Risk ratios for unintentional readmission were 1.21 (1.08–1.36) for nonelective vs. elective admission, 1.19 (1.06–1.33) for public vs. private insurance enrollees, 0.96 (0.95–0.98) for each day of hospital stay, 0.77 (0.62–0.95) for large teaching and 0.87 (0.70–1.08) for small teaching vs. nonteaching hospitals. Possible strategies to reduce readmission among ALL patients could be shortening the gap in quality of care among teaching vs. non-teaching hospitals, understanding the difference between privately vs. publicly insured patients, and avoiding aggressive discharge after chemotherapy. |
