Table 4 The role of high risk LACE index on predicting unplanned readmissions and Emergency revisits after index discharge
From: Using the LACE index to predict hospital readmissions in congestive heart failure patients
High risk for readmission N = 226 | Low risk for readmission N = 27 | OR (95% CI) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

ED revisits, % | 15.04 | 0 | N/A | 0.030 |
Mortality, % | 0.44 | 0 | N/A | 0.729 |
