ObjectivesVariation in hospital resource allocations across weekdays and weekends have led to studies of the ‘weekend effect’ for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), heart failure (HF) and stroke. However, few studies have explored the ‘weekend effect’ on unplanned readmission. We aimed to investigate 30-day unplanned readmissions and processes of care across weekend and weekday hospitalisations for STEMI, NSTEMI, HF and stroke.DesignWe grouped hospitalisations for STEMI, NSTEMI, HF or stroke into weekday or weekend admissions. Multivariable adjusted ORs for binary outcomes across weekend versus weekday (reference) groups were estimated using logistic regression.SettingWe included all non-elective hospitalisations for STEMI, NSTEMI, HF or stroke, which were recorded in the US Nationwide Readmissions Database between 2010 and 2014.ParticipantsThe analysis sample included 659 906 hospitalisations for STEMI, 1 420 600 hospitalisations for NSTEMI, 3 027 699 hospitalisations for HF, and 2 574 168 hospitalisations for stroke.Main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was unplanned 30-day readmission. As secondary outcomes, we considered length of stay and the following processes of care: coronary angiography, primary percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft, thrombolysis, brain scan/imaging, thrombectomy, echocardiography and cardiac resynchronisation therapy/implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.ResultsUnplanned 30-day readmission rates were 11.0%, 15.1%, 23.0% and 10.9% for STEMI, NSTEMI, HF and stroke, respectively. Weekend hospitalisations for HF were associated with a statistically significant but modest increase in 30-day readmissions (OR of 1.045, 95% CI 1.033 to 1.058). Weekend hospitalisation for STEMI, NSTEMI or stroke was not associated with increased risk of 30-day readmission.ConclusionThere was no clinically meaningful evidence against the supposition that weekend and weekday hospitalisations have the same 30-day unplanned readmissions. Thirty-day readmission rates were high, especially for HF, which has implications for service provision. Strategies to reduce readmission rates should be explored, regardless of day of hospitalisation.

Older people prefer to remain living in their own home for as long as possible; however, many require support to do so through health and other care services provided in the home. This study aimed to explore the trends in usage of a home-based care service by older people in metropolitan Melbourne and factors associated with unplanned hospitalisations. This longitudinal study analysed episodes of home-based care for people aged ≥65 years between 2006 and 2015. An episode of care was defined as the period of time during which the home care services were provided to the client. Care episodes culminated in a planned discharge from the service or an unplanned hospitalisation. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were utilised to investigate the characteristics associated with unplanned hospitalisations. Utilisation of home-based care services over the 10-year period showed an increasing rate of use by people aged ≥85 years and a reduced usage rate by females aged 70–84 years and males 75–79 years old. Of 170,001 episodes of care, 43,608 (25.7%) resulted in an unplanned hospitalisation. Home-based care delivered to people aged ≥85 years showed an increasing rate of episodes ending in an unplanned transfer to the hospital. Between 2006 and 2015, individuals aged 85–89 years displayed a rate increase of 18.7% in episodes ending in an unplanned hospitalisation; for those aged ≥90 years, the rate rise was 43.6%. Factors associated with an unplanned hospitalisation included advancing age, male gender, living alone, cognitive dysfunction, and the complexity of medical issues. Health policy has focussed on providing services to enable older people to remain in their own home. The increasing rate of unplanned hospitalisations for community-dwellers aged ≥85 years suggests more support is required to enable ageing in place.

ObjectivesTo: (1) examine the 90-day incidence of unplanned hospitalisation and emergency department (ED) presentations after residential aged care facility (RACF) entry, (2) examine individual-related, facility-related, medication-related, system-related and healthcare-related predictors of these outcomes and (3) create individual risk profiles.DesignRetrospective cohort study using the Registry of Senior Australians. Fine-Gray models estimated subdistribution HRs and 95% CIs. Harrell’s C-index assessed risk models’ predictive ability.Setting and participantsIndividuals aged ≥65 years old entering a RACF as permanent residents in three Australian states between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2016 (N=116 192 individuals in 1967 RACFs).Predictors examinedIndividual-related, facility-related, medication-related, system and healthcare-related predictors ascertained at assessments or within 90 days, 6 months or 1 year prior to RACF entry.Outcome measures90-day unplanned hospitalisation and ED presentation post-RACF entry.ResultsThe cohort median age was 85 years old (IQR 80–89), 62% (N=71 861) were women, and 50.5% (N=58 714) had dementia. The 90-day incidence of unplanned hospitalisations was 18.0% (N=20 919) and 22.6% (N=26 242) had ED presentations. There were 34 predictors of unplanned hospitalisations and 34 predictors of ED presentations identified, 27 common to both outcomes and 7 were unique to each. The hospitalisation and ED presentation models out-of-sample Harrell’s C-index was 0.664 (95% CI 0.657 to 0.672) and 0.655 (95% CI 0.648 to 0.662), respectively. Some common predictors of high risk of unplanned hospitalisation and ED presentations included: being a man, age, delirium history, higher activity of daily living, behavioural and complex care needs, as well as history, number and recency of healthcare use (including hospital, general practitioners attendances), experience of a high sedative load and several medications.ConclusionsWithin 90 days of RACF entry, 18.0% of individuals had unplanned hospitalisations and 22.6% had ED presentations. Several predictors, including modifiable factors, were identified at the time of care entry. This is an actionable period for targeting individuals at risk of hospitalisations.

The presence of multiple chronic conditions (i.e., multimorbidity) increases the risk of hospitalisation in older adults. We aimed to examine the association between different multimorbidity patterns and unplanned hospitalisations over 5 years. To that end, 2,250 community-dwelling individuals aged 60 years and older from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K) were studied. Participants were grouped into six multimorbidity patterns using a fuzzy c-means cluster analysis. The associations between patterns and outcomes were tested using Cox models and negative binomial models. After 5 years, 937 (41.6%) participants experienced at least one unplanned hospitalisation. Compared to participants in the unspecific multimorbidity pattern, those in the cardiovascular diseases, anaemia and dementia pattern, the psychiatric disorders pattern and the metabolic and sleep disorders pattern presented with a higher hazard of first unplanned hospitalisation (hazard ratio range: 1.49–2.05; p < 0.05 for all), number of unplanned hospitalisations (incidence rate ratio (IRR) range: 1.89–2.44; p < 0.05 for all), in-hospital days (IRR range: 1.91–3.61; p < 0.05 for all), and 30-day unplanned readmissions (IRR range: 2.94–3.65; p < 0.05 for all). Different multimorbidity patterns displayed a differential association with unplanned hospital care utilisation. These findings call for a careful primary care follow-up of older adults with complex multimorbidity patterns.

Introduction: Hospitalisations can pose hazards and may not be an appropriate care setting for frail nursing home (NH) residents. Few studies have quantified the extent of NH resident hospitalisations in Singapore, hence we aimed to address this knowledge gap by studying characteristics of unplanned hospitalisations over a 1-year period. Method: This was a retrospective cohort study of 9922 subsidised residents across 59 NHs in Singapore, with analysis using administrative healthcare data. Key measures included inpatient admission and emergency department visit rates, final discharge diagnoses and estimated costs. We examined correlates of inpatient admissions with a multivariable zero-inflated negative binomial regression model incorporating demographics, institutional characteristics and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Results: There were 6620 inpatient admissions in 2015, equivalent to 2.23 admissions per 1000 resident days, and the majority were repeat admissions (4504 admissions or 68.0%). Male sex (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.23), approaching end-of-life (IRR 2.14), hospitalisations in the past year (IRR 2.73) and recent NH admission within the last 6 months (IRR 1.31–1.99) were significantly associated with inpatient admission rate. Top 5 discharge diagnoses were lower respiratory tract infections (27.3%), urinary tract infection (9.3%), sepsis (3.1%), cellulitis (1.9%) and gastroenteritis (1.1%). We estimated the total system cost of admissions of subsidised residents to be SGD40.2 million (USD29.1 million) in 2015. Conclusion: We anticipate that unplanned hospitalisation rate will increase over time, especially with an increasing number of residents who will be cared for in NHs. Our findings provide a baseline to inform stakeholders and develop strategies to address this growing problem.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background A worldwide significant dynamic shift in the incidence and clinical course of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) has been observed in the past years. One key indicator that embodies this variability is the necessity for urgent hospitalisation due to exacerbations of Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The objective of this study was to assess this phenomenon in the Poznan Metropolis, one of the biggest metropolises in western Poland, over a 12-year timeframe. Methods Using the National Health Fund's database, urgent hospitalisations of patients with CD or UC from 2010-2021 were identified, and defined as unplanned admissions to emergency departments and inpatient units in Poznan Metropolis hospitals, which required hospitalisation. The ratio of emergency to planned hospitalisations were compared in two identical timeframes: 2010-2015 vs. 2016-2021 and, additionally, during the COVID-19 pandemic years 2020-2021 vs. 2018-2019. The data were analysed and compared according to diagnosis, age, gender and length of hospitalisation. Results The numbers of urgent and planned hospitalisations in regard to predefined time periods are shown in Table 1. The rate of acute to planned hospitalisations from 2010-2015 vs. 2016-2021 was 27% (809/3006) vs. 44.5% (1131/2540) (p <0.0001). It increased significantly in all defined categories, except for patients over 60 years of age, where an insignificant decrease from 79% to 71% (p=0.4) was noted. Lower hospitalisation rates were observed among men compared to women (2010-2015: 28% vs. 46%; 2016-2021: 25% vs. 43%). The COVID-19 pandemic posed a paramount challenge to global healthcare systems. However, a statistically significant decrease in the rate of urgent to planned hospitalisations was only found in CD patients (47% vs. 34%; p=0.02; Figure 1). No impact on hospitalisation duration was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic as compared to 2018-2019. Conclusion Despite ongoing therapeutic advances, IBD remains a substantial challenge to healthcare systems, as evidenced by the increasing trend in urgent hospitalisations over time, regardless of the diagnosis, particularly among women. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly triggered global economic and healthcare crisis. However, the repercussions on the treatment of IBD patients in our Metropolis were inconsequential.

ObjectiveTo assess the association between continuity of provider-adjusted regularity of general practitioner (GP) contact and unplanned diabetes-related hospitalisation or emergency department (ED) presentation.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingIndividual-level linked self-report and administrative health service data from New South Wales, Australia.Participants27 409 survey respondents aged ≥45 years with a prior history of diabetes and at least three GP contacts between 1 July 2009 and 30 June 2015.Main outcome measuresUnplanned diabetes-related hospitalisations or ED presentations, associated costs and bed days.ResultsTwenty-one per cent of respondents had an unplanned diabetes-related hospitalisation or ED presentation. Increasing regularity of GP contact was associated with a lower probability of hospitalisation or ED presentation (19.9% for highest quintile, 23.5% for the lowest quintile). Conditional on having an event, there was a small decrease in the number of hospitalisations or ED presentations for the low (−6%) and moderate regularity quintiles (−8%), a reduction in bed days (ranging from −30 to −44%) and a reduction in average cost of between −23% and −41%, all relative to the lowest quintile. When probability of diabetes-related hospitalisation or ED presentation was included, only the inverse association with cost remained significant (mean of $A3798 to $A6350 less per individual, compared with the lowest regularity quintile). Importantly, continuity of provider did not significantly modify the effect of GP regularity for any outcome.ConclusionsHigher regularity of GP contact—that is more evenly dispersed, not necessarily more frequent care—has the potential to reduce secondary healthcare costs and, conditional on having an event, the time spent in hospital, irrespective of continuity of provider. These findings argue for the advocacy of regular care, as distinct from solely continuity of provider, when designing policy and financial incentives for GP-led primary care.

Introduction: Cancer is a pervasive global problem with significant healthcare utilisation and cost. Emergency departments (EDs) see large numbers of patients with oncologic emergencies and act as “gate-keepers” to subsequent hospital admissions. A proportion of such hospital admissions are rapidly discharged within 2 days and may be potentially avoidable. Methods: Over a 6-month period, we conducted a retrospective audit of active cancer patients presenting to the ED with subsequent admission to the Department of Medical Oncology. Our aims were to identify independent factors associated with a length of stay ≤2 days; and characterise the clinical and resource needs of these short admissions. Results: Among all medical oncology admissions, 24.4% were discharged within 2 days. Compared to longer stayers, patients with short admissions were significantly younger (P=0.010), had lower National Early Warning Scores (NEWS) (P=0.006), and had a lower proportion of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary cancers (P=0.005). Among short admissions, common presenting medical problems were infections (n=144, 36.3%), pain (n=116, 29.2%), gastrointestinal complaints (n=85, 21.4%) and respiratory complaints (n=76, 19.1%). These admissions required investigations and treatments already available at the ED. Conclusion: Short admissions have low resource needs and may be managed in the ED. This may help save valuable inpatient bed-days and reduce overall healthcare costs. Keywords: Emergency medicine, healthcare use, oncology, palliative care, unplanned cancer admission

ObjectiveTo investigate patient characteristics and the available health and drug data associated with unplanned nursing home admission following an acute hospital admission or readmission.DesignA population-based hospital registry study.SettingA public hospital in southern Switzerland (Valais Hospital).ParticipantsWe explored a population-based longitudinal dataset of 14 705 hospital admissions from 2015 to 2018.Outcome measuresSociodemographic, health and drug data, and their interactions predicting the risk of unplanned nursing home admission.ResultsThe mean prevalence of unplanned nursing home admission after hospital discharge was 6.1% (n=903/N=14 705). Our predictive analysis revealed that the oldest adults (OR=1.07 for each additional year of age; 95% CI 1.05 to 1.08) presenting with impaired functional mobility (OR=3.22; 95% CI 2.67 to 3.87), dependency in the activities of daily living (OR=4.62; 95% CI 3.76 to 5.67), cognitive impairment (OR=3.75; 95% CI 3.06 to 4.59) and traumatic injuries (OR=1.58; 95% CI 1.25 to 2.01) had a higher probability of unplanned nursing home admission. The number of International Classification of Diseases, 10th version diagnoses had no significant impact on nursing home admissions, contrarily to the number of prescribed drugs (OR=1.17; 95% CI 1.15 to 1.19). Antiemetics/antinauseants (OR=2.53; 95% CI 1.21 to 5.30), digestives (OR=1.78; 95% CI 1.09 to 2.90), psycholeptics (OR=1.76; 95% CI 1.60 to 1.93), antiepileptics (OR=1.49; 95% CI 1.25 to 1.79) and anti-Parkinson’s drugs (OR=1.40; 95% CI 1.12 to 1.75) were strongly linked to unplanned nursing home admission.ConclusionsNumerous risk factors for unplanned nursing home admission were identified. To prevent the adverse health outcomes that precipitate acute hospitalisations and unplanned nursing home admissions, ambulatory care providers should consider these risk factors in their care planning for older adults before they reach a state requiring hospitalisation.

Background: A variety of educational interventions have been implemented to assist patients with heart failure to maintain their own health, develop self-care behaviours and decrease readmissions. Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a multimedia educational intervention for patients with heart failure in reducing unplanned hospital readmissions. Methods: The study, a randomised controlled trial in a large tertiary referral hospital in Australia, recruited 200 patients. Patients diagnosed with heart failure were randomly allocated 1:1 to usual education or a multimedia educational intervention. The multimedia approach began with an individual needs assessment to develop an educational plan. The educational intervention included viewing a DVD, and verbal discussion supported by a written manual with a teach-back evaluation strategy. The primary outcome was all-cause unplanned hospital readmission at 28 days, three months and 12 months post-recruitment. The secondary outcomes were changes in knowledge and self-care behaviours at three months and 12 months post-recruitment. Results: At 12 months, data on 171 participants were analysed. There were 24 participants who had an unplanned hospital readmission in the intervention group compared to 44 participants in the control group ( p=0.005). The self-care educational intervention reduced the risk of readmission at 12 months by 30% (relative risk: 0.703; 95% confidence interval: 0.548–0.903). Conclusion: A targeted multimedia educational intervention can be effective in reducing all-cause unplanned readmissions for people with heart failure.

Cette thèse utilise les méthodes de l’économétrie appliquée pour analyser sur des données de séjours hospitaliers, les conséquences sur les durées de séjour (et donc sur les coûts pour les hôpitaux), du niveau de défavorisation des patients atteints de cancer. Nous analysons aussi la pertinence d’utiliser pour la cancérologie, la fréquence des hospitalisations non-programmées comme indicateur de la qualité des soins, comme cela est proposé en général pour les soins hospitaliers. Dans le premier chapitre, nous montrons que les patients les plus défavorisés présentent des durées d’hospitalisation plus longues de 4 % en moyenne, même après contrôle par des variables correspondant à des composantes du système actuel de paiement hospitalier. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous montrons que la défavorisation des patients constitue un frein à la réalisation en ambulatoire de la chirurgie du cancer du sein, alors que la tarification vise à favoriser les séjours ambulatoires par un alignement des tarifs pour les séjours en hospitalisation complète et les séjours ambulatoires, alors que ces derniers sont moins couteux. Nos résultats montrent que cette incitation peut avoir un effet délétère pour les hôpitaux traitant une proportion élevée de patients défavorisés. Les résultats des deux premiers chapitres apportent des arguments pour adapter le système de paiement hospitalier : nos résultats soutiennent l’idée que les surcoûts liés à la prise en charge des patients les plus défavorisés devraient être pris en compte dans le modèle de financement, afin de limiter le risque de sélection. Nous proposons d’utiliser l’European Deprivation Index du patient comme mesure de la défavorisation soutenant un éventuel paiement additionnel car cet indicateur ne peut pas être manipulé par les acteurs hospitaliers. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous montrons que le taux d’hospitalisations non-programmées n’est pas un bon indicateur de la qualité des soins en cancérologie, notamment pour les patients présentant une défavorisation sociale moyenne ou élevée. Par conséquent, un système de financement à la qualité basé sur ce type d’indicateurs, pourrait pénaliser les hôpitaux traitant une proportion élevée de patients défavorisésIn this thesis, we use applied econometric methods to analyse the influence of social deprivation on hospital lengths of stay (used as a proxy for hospital costs) in cancer patients. We also analyse the relevance of using the frequency of unplanned hospitalisations as an indicator of hospital care quality for cancer patients. In the first chapter, we show that the most deprived patients have hospital stays that are 4% longer on average, even after controlling for variables corresponding to components of the current hospital payment system. In the second chapter, we show that patients’ social deprivation decreases the probability of day-surgery in breast cancer, despite the fact that the pricing system aims to encourage day-surgery by setting the payment for inpatient surgery (which is more costly for hospitals) at the same level as that of day-surgery. Our results suggest that this incentive could have a deleterious effect on hospitals treating a high proportion of deprived patients. The results of the first two chapters suggest that the additional costs associated with treating the most deprived patients should be taken into account in the funding model, in order to limit the risk of selection and therefore provide arguments for adapting the hospital payment system. We propose using the European Deprivation Index as a measure of social deprivation to support a possible additional payment, as this indicator cannot be manipulated by hospital managers. In the third chapter, we show that the rate of unplanned hospitalisations is not a good indicator of the quality of cancer care, particularly for patients with moderate or high social deprivation. Consequently, a quality financing system based on this type of indicator could penalize hospitals treating a high proportion of deprived patients
