Hospital length of stay and readmission: an early investigation.
This study is a retrospective examination of the association between length of stay in an index hospitalization and readmission within 7 days and within 30 days of discharge. It found negative associations between length of stay and readmission probability, particularly for heart attack patients; however, the magnitude of the effect was modest for heart attack.

Patient activation and 30-day post-discharge hospital utilization.
This study examining the role of patient activation in the rate of hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge found that adult medical patients in an urban academic safety net hospital with lower levels of patient activation had a higher rate of post-discharge 30-day hospital utilization.
