Model Definitions (all regressed on 30 readmission or death, bolded independent variables were significant at the p < 0.05 level in the all patient regression).

^*Model 1: Black race alone (univariate).

^†Model 2: Black race, sex, patient age, and insurance.

^‡Model 3: Black race, sex, patient age, insurance, index admission length of stay (days), index admission mechanical ventilation.

^§Model 4: Black race, sex, patient age, insurance, index admission length of stay (days), index admission mechanical ventilation, post-acute care on discharge.

^||Model 5: Black race, sex, patient age, insurance, index admission length of stay (days), index admission mechanical ventilation, post-acute care on discharge, Charlson Comorbidity Index.
