Multilevel risk factors for hospital readmission among patients with opioid use disorder in selected US States: role of socioeconomic characteristics of patients and their community.
This study examined the association of socioeconomic characteristics of individuals hospitalized with a principal diagnosis of opioid use disorder and their all-cause 30-day readmission risks. Discharge data from the 2014 HCUP Survey was used and was linked to community and hospital characteristics using data from HRSA and the American Hospital Association. Medicare is associated with the highest readmission risk followed by Medicaid covered patients. Self-pay or covered by other payers had a similar risk to private insurance coverage. Urban patients also had a higher readmission rate than rural patients.
