| Logistic regression models | 30 day readmission after AMI
|
|
|---|---|---|
| OR (95% CI) | p-value | |
| Unadjusted | ||
| Race black vs white predicting readmission | 1.25 (1.14, 1.37) | <0.001 |
| Race black vs white predicting health system-independent | 0.88 (0.25, 3.07) | 0.84 |
| Race black vs white predicting readmission, controlling for health system-independent | 1.25 (1.14, 1.38) | <0.001 |
| Adjusted | ||
| Race black vs white predicting readmission | 1.13 (1.03, 1.25) | 0.046 |
| Race black vs white predicting health system-independent | 1.02 (0.21, 5.10) | 0.98 |
| Race black vs white predicting readmission, controlling for health system-independent | 1.14 (1.03, 1.25) | 0.037 |
Note: Boldface indicates statistical significance (p<0.05).
Controlling for patient-age, state, insurance, Elixhauser Index, length of stay and hospital-AMI annual volume, bed size, and year of data.
