Deep learning prediction of hospital readmissions for asthma and COPD.
The purpose of this observational study was to identify Electronic Health Record (EHR) features of severe asthma and COPD exacerbations and assess the performance of four machine learning (ML) and one deep learning (DL) model in predicting readmissions using EHR data. The study included 31, 2017 patients hospitalized with asthma and COPD exacerbations. The study found that Black and Hispanic patients had a greater likelihood of readmission for asthma. Patients with COPD readmissions included a high percentage of Blacks and Hispanics. To identify patients at high risk of readmission, index hospitalization data of a subset of 2,682 patients, 777 with asthma and 1,905 with COPD, was analyzed with four ML models, and one DL model. The researchers discovered that multilayer perceptron, the DL method, had the best sensitivity and specificity compared to the four ML methods implemented in the same dataset.

Association of obstructive sleep apnea with all-cause readmissions after hospitalization for asthma exacerbation in adults aged 18-54 years: a population-based study, 2010-2013.
The authors sought to investigate associations between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and readmission risk after hospitalization for asthma exacerbation using data from State Inpatient Databases from seven U.S. states. They found that, overall, OSA was associated with a significantly higher incident rate of all-cause readmission. Additionally, OSA was associated with higher incident rates of readmissions for five major diseases: asthma, COPD, respiratory failure, pneumonia, and congestive heart failure, compared to non-OSA.

Impact of discharge components on readmission rates for children hospitalized with asthma.
This study described hospital-based asthma-specific discharge components at children's hospitals and determine the association of these discharge components with pediatric asthma readmission rates. No individual or combination discharge components were associated with lower 30-day adjusted readmission rates. The only single-component significantly associated with a lower rate of readmission at 3 months was having comprehensive content of education.
