Readmissions within 30 days | n (%) | 10 (3.3) | 1 (0.9) | 7 (5.6) | 0.28 | 0.068 | 0.30 |
Readmissions within 90 days | n (%) | 24 (7.9) | 2 (1.7) | 9 (7.2) | 1.00 | 0.062 | 0.021 |
The Fisher’s exact test followed by Bonferroni correction was used to compare the proportions of categorical variables between three groups, and P values < 0.017 were considered to indicate statistical significance
