Association of outcomes in patients with and without CKD with potentially preventable HACs
| Cohort | Mortality: Index Hospitalizationa (95% CI) | Discharge to 90-d Mortalitya (95% CI) | Incremental LOS (d),b Median (95% CI) | Readmission Discharge to 90 da (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| With CKD and no preventable HACs | 2.22 (1.69 to 2.94) | 1.49 (1.11 to 2.00) | 1.67 (0.29 to 3.06) | 1.45 (1.25 to 1.69) |
| Non-CKD and with preventable HACs | 5.26 (4.98 to 5.55) | 1.20 (1.12 to 1.29) | 9.73 (9.4 to 9.98) | 1.41 (1.36 to 1.45) |
| With CKD and preventable HACs | 9.56 (7.23 to 12.65) | 1.68 (1.23 to 2.29) | 11.42 (9.93 to 12.91) | 1.67 (1.42 to 1.96) |
HAC, hospital-acquired complication; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; LOS, length of stay. Reference group: patients without CKD and without potentially preventable HACs.

b
Fully adjusted for age, admission type (elective versus urgent), sex, nonpreventable complications, and 16 comorbid conditions.
