Abstract | Purpose: Readmissions for the medical treatment of cancer have traditionally been excluded from readmission measures under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program. Patients with cancer often have higher readmission rates and may need heightened support to ensure effective care transitions after hospitalization. Estimating readmission risk before discharge may assist in discharge planning efforts and help promote care coordination at time of discharge. Patients and methods: We developed and validated a readmission risk scoring system among a cohort of adult cancer patients with solid tumor admitted at a comprehensive cancer center. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to develop the model. The model's discriminative capacity was evaluated through a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. We further compared the performance of the developed score with existing risk scores for 30-day readmission. Results: The 30-day unplanned readmission rate in the total cohort was 16.0% (n = 1,078 of 6,720). After multivariate analysis, Cancer site, Recent emergency room visit within 30 days, non-English primary language, Anemia defined as hemoglobin < 10 g/dL, > 4 Days length of stay during the index admission, unmarried Marital status, Increased white blood cell count > 11 × 10 Conclusion: The Cancer READMIT score was able to predict 30-day unplanned readmissions to our institution with fairly modest performance. External validation of our derived risk scoring system is recommended. |
