Results of logistic regression analysis of LACE index added to subjective clinician predictions
| Value added when LACE index added to the following provider predictions | ||
|---|---|---|
| OR (95% CI) | P | |
| Residents | 1.10 (1.02, 1.20) | 0.019 |
| Attendings | 1.08 (0.99, 1.17) | 0.089 |
| Nurses | 1.10 (0.99, 1.22) | 0.067 |
Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess if adding LACE index to clinician predictions resulted in a prediction that was more likely to distinguish readmitted from non-readmitted patients. Results of this analysis were considered positive if the OR and 95% confidence intervals were greater than 1.0, with p < 0.05
