Post-discharge adverse events among urban and rural patients of an urban community hospital: a prospective cohort study.
The researchers aimed to determine the rate of postdischarge adverse events (AEs), classify the types of post-discharge AEs, and identify risk factors for post-discharge AEs in urban and rural patients. They found that post-discharge AEs were common in both urban and rural patients and many were preventable or ameliorable.
