Association of discharging clinicians’ predicted probability and unplanned 60-day hospital readmission among neonates and young children

	Total, n (%) (n=3896)	Not readmitted 60 days after hospital discharge, n (%) (n=3709)	Readmitted 60 days after hospital discharge, n (%) (n=187)	P value*
Clinician predicted probability				<0.001
0%	2838 (72.8)	2687 (72.4)	151 (80.7)
1%–5%	9 (0.2)	9 (0.2)	0 (0.0)

There was one respondent who estimated that the discharged child was at risk of hospital readmission but did not assign a proportion.

*By Fisher’s exact test to assess independence of clinician predicted probability and likelihood of hospital readmission.
