Older adults who receive homecare are at increased risk of readmission and mortality following a short ED admission: A nationally register-based cohort study
Older adults admitted to an emergency department (ED) who are dependent on homecare may be especially challenged with respect to readmission and mortality. This study aimed to assess whether receiving homecare prior admission was associated with readmission or mortality within 30days of a short ED admission and to explore whether the amount of homecare received was associated with an increased risk of readmission or mortality.
