The impact of incarceration on readmissions among patients with inflammatory bowel disease hospitalized at a community hospital.
The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of readmissions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) receiving care at a community hospital who were and were not incarcerated when they were hospitalized. The primary study outcome was all cause readmission at 1 year following an IBD-related admission. The secondary outcomes included 1. all-cause readmission at 30 days, 2. IBD-related readmission at 30 days, and 3. IBD-related readmission at 1 year. The study indicator of interest was incarceration. The study found that individuals who were incarcerated had a greater rate of all-cause readmissions at 1 year than those who were not incarcerated at the time of hospitalization.
