Associations between Discharge AMA and 30-day Mortality & 30-day Readmission
| Model | Mortality OR (95% CI) |
Readmission OR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Unadjusted | 1.92 (1.41 – 2.61) | 2.58 (2.38 – 2.79) |
| Propensity score & covariate adjusted | 2.05 (1.48 – 2.86)a | 1.84 (1.69 – 2.01)b |
| Propensity score matched & covariate adjusted | 2.46 (1.29 – 4.68)c | 1.65 (1.46 – 1.87)c |
a
Adjusted for propensity score, age, sex, race/ethnicity, insurance, history of substance abuse, Charlson co-morbidity score, laboratory-based acute physiology score (LAPS), and discharge diagnosis
b
Adjusted for propensity score, age, sex, race/ethnicity, insurance, history of substance abuse, history of psychiatric disease, Charlson co-morbidity score, laboratory-based acute physiology score (LAPS), and discharge diagnosis
c
Adjusted for covariates unbalanced after matching: race/ethnicity, insurance, creatinine, and discharge diagnosis
