Abstract

Hospital readmission is a relevant indicator of healthcare quality and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This integrative review aimed to identify prognostic factors associated with hospital readmission across different clinical settings, comparing the nature of predictors and their potential preventability.

A systematic search was conducted in the PubMed, Semantic Scholar, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases, and five primary studies were selected, addressing readmission after coronary artery bypass grafting, diabetic ketoacidosis in adults and children, post-infarction heart failure, and intensive care unit readmission.

The results demonstrated that age is a universal predictor of readmission; however, its effect direction varies depending on the clinical context, with advanced age in cardiovascular and intensive care settings and younger age in diabetic ketoacidosis. Social determinants of health emerged as the factors with the greatest magnitude of effect, particularly African American race, homelessness, and substance abuse in the recurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis, with adjusted odds ratios exceeding those of traditional clinical variables.

Pharmacological underutilization at hospital discharge and the absence of structured transitional care programs were also identified.

In conclusion, hospital readmission is a multifactorial phenomenon that transcends the clinical dimension and is strongly influenced by social vulnerabilities and the quality of care during the transition from hospital to home.
