This study identified demographic characteristics, lab values, and comorbidities associated with 30-day and 90-day hospital readmission in persons with DFU.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: A retrospective chart review at our institution examined 397 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted with DFU between January 2014 and December 2018. Variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and logistic regressions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: None of the studied demographic, laboratory (including Hemoglobin A1c) or comorbid diseases were associated with 30-day readmission in persons with DFU. Risk factors for 90-day readmission included discharge location to home with health care (OR: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.39, 4.95), anticoagulant use (OR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.27, 4.39), and SQ insulin use (OR: 2.08, 95% CI: 1.20, 3.61).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: None of the variables examined were associated with 30-day readmission; however, potential predictors for 90-day readmission included anticoagulation or insulin use and discharge home with healthcare services. Future studies should devise interventions to improve transition of care in patients with DFU to further assess the role of medications and home health care as a potential predictor of 90-day hospital readmission.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00469580211060779","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,29]],"date-time":"2021-11-29T08:34:01Z","timestamp":1638174841000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Laboratory and Pharmaceutical Data Associated With Hospital Readmission in Persons With Diabetic Foot Ulcers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9973-6653","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alyson K.","family":"Myers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, NY, USA"},{"name":"Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra\/Northwell, Hempstead, NY, USA"},{"name":"Institute for Health System Science, Manhasset, NY, USA"},{"name":"Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, Manhasset, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Makeda","family":"Dawkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Westchester Medical Center, Valhalla, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inthuja","family":"Baskaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, Manhasset, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Izard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health System Science, Manhasset, NY, USA"},{"name":"Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, Manhasset, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health System Science, Manhasset, NY, USA"},{"name":"Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, Manhasset, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aditya A.","family":"Bissoonauth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Cohen Children\u2019s Medical Center, Lake Success, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sally","family":"Kaplan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Comprehensive Wound Care Center and Hyperbarics, Lake Success, NY, USA"},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Northwell Health, Lake Success, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Northwell Health, Lake Success, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Elzanaty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, Manhasset, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alisha","family":"Oropallo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Comprehensive Wound Care Center and Hyperbarics, Lake Success, NY, USA"},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Northwell Health, Lake Success, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2017.07.131"},{"key":"bibr2-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12439"},{"key":"bibr3-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2042018817744513"},{"key":"bibr4-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc13-2176"},{"key":"bibr5-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2018.12.028"},{"key":"bibr6-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4239\/wjd.v6.i1.37"},{"key":"bibr7-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/193229681200600508"},{"key":"bibr8-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7547\/15-176"},{"key":"bibr9-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc17-1683"},{"key":"bibr10-00469580211060779","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.2011.176"},{"key":"bibr11-00469580211060779","unstructured":"Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) | CMS. https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/Medicare\/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment\/AcuteInpatientPPS\/Readmissions-Reduction-Program.
