Unplanned 30-Day Readmission and Predictors of Readmission in Patients with Neutropenic Fever : Insights from National Readmission Database

CONCLUSIONS: On a national level, 1 in 7 hospitalizations for febrile neutropenia was followed by an unplanned readmission within 30 days with readmissions equally distributed over the 30 days. Multiple modifiable and non-modifiable factors influencing readmission rates were noted which should be targeted for further studies to examine if strategies that address these predictors can decrease readmissions.Figure.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
