Patients who were not admitted as an inpatient after their initial presentation, and patients who were discharged home instead of to a SNF, both had a higher risk of repeat presentation within 60\u00a0days of discharge. Additionally, ambulation by patients in the ED may provide false reassurance, as these patients were less likely to be admitted as an inpatient, but more likely to subsequently return within 60\u00a0days.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/21514593251350498","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,18]],"date-time":"2025-06-18T08:54:56Z","timestamp":1750236896000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Risk Factors for Readmission Following Elderly Low Energy Pelvis Fractures"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Sean","family":"Thomas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California San Diego School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Avinaash","family":"Korrapati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California San Diego"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brendan","family":"O\u2019Leary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California San Diego"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cooper","family":"Haaland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California San Diego School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra K.","family":"Schwartz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California San Diego"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7065-9551","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William T.","family":"Kent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California San Diego"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.RVW.16.00057"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/215145932098540"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0216809"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12877-019-1320-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-018-0971-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/21514593221097274"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2018.7998"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcot.2019.02.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2017.01.005"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20150105-53"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BOT.0000000000000200"}],"container-title":["Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery &amp; Rehabilitation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/21514593251350498","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/21514593251350498","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/21514593251350498","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T07:09:39Z","timestamp":1777446579000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/21514593251350498"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,5]]},"references-count":11,"alternative-id":["10.1177\/21514593251350498"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/21514593251350498","relation":{},"ISSN":["2151-4593","2151-4593"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2151-4593","type":"print"},{"value":"2151-4593","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,5]]},"article-number":"21514593251350498"}}
