Abstract Objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for hospital beds has exceeded substantially. Thus, we aimed to conduct this study to identify factors associated with the risk of readmission in order to introduce the best discharge plan for patients with high risk of hospital readmission. Method: This is a multicenter, case-control study included 1357 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection. Age-sex-matched case and control groups were paired at 1:2 ratios. COVID-19 readmission rate was assessed. Moreover, Logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the factors associated with readmission. Results: Of the 1357 patients, 99 (7.29%) subjects were readmitted. The most common cause of readmission was respiratory distress. The median (IQR) of the interval between hospital discharge and the second admission was 5 (2-16) days. Upon adjusting with the main risk factors, having at least one underlying disease and being treated with the corticosteroid (GC) were significantly associated with a higher rate of readmission (OR: 2.76, 95% CI :1.30- 5.87) and (OR:8.24, 95% CI :3.72- 18.22), respectively.Conclusion: Identification of Risk factors of COVID 19 readmission will improve resource utilization and patient care.

A retrospective case note study explored readmissions to an acute psychiatric in-patient unit within six months of discharge. The study aimed to calculate a hospital readmission rate, to investigate the timing of readmissions, and to identify risk factors associated with readmission. The readmission rate was 27% with the majority of readmissions occurring within three months after discharge, suggesting the need for investigation of such early readmissions. The three factors found to predict readmission were: discharge against medical advice, number of previous admissions, and living alone or with family rather than in care. Implications for hospital service planning are considered.
