Note. Model adjusts for comorbidity, substance use, mental health, payer, county of residence, discharge year, hospital, and age group/gender/ethnicity interactions (n = 270,825).

Individuals are only counted once in this table, regardless of the number of potentially preventable readmissions (PPRs) they had during the study period. Individuals who were hospitalized during the study period only for maternity-related conditions or for hospitalization types not eligible for PPR analyses according to 3M metrics, and/or who were missing race/ethnicity data were excluded from these analyses.
