Assessment of hospital readmissions in stroke patient population from the Stroke Center at the University of Kentucky: as a quality measure (P5.150)

Further analysis may help to identify risks for readmission and potentially reduce readmission rates.Disclosure: Dr. Al Sawaf has nothing to disclose. Dr. Lee has nothing to disclose.
