Derivation and External Validation of a Simple Risk Tool to Predict 30-Day Hospital Readmissions after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

The tool may consequently inform hospital discharge planning, optimize transitions of care, and reduce resource utilization. PMID: 30803938 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
