Readmissions after Hospitalization for Heart Failure Acute Myocardial Infarction or Pneumonia among Young and Middle-Aged Adults: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study

摘要

BackgroundPatients aged ≥65 years are vulnerable to readmissions due to a transient period of generalized risk after hospitalization. However, whether young and middle-aged adults share a similar risk pattern is uncertain. We compared the rate, timing, and readmission diagnoses following hospitalization for heart failure (HF), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and pneumonia among patients aged 18–64 years with patients aged ≥65 years.
