摘要

The continuing efforts to lower hospital readmission rates in the US from a profound awareness of the frequency of readmissions and their financial burden on the healthcare system. Hospital readmissions are prevalent among discharged patients in the US, particularly among those with pre-existing health conditions and the elderly demographic [1, 2]. Furthermore, decreasing readmission rates is acknowledged as integral to national quality improvement strategies, incentivized by healthcare policies. Consequently, there is a high demand for predictive models to assess readmission risk, aiming to enhance patient care and diminish healthcare expenditures.
