About

This is a retrospective observational study drawing on data from the Brigham and Women's Home Hospital database. Sociodemographic and clinic data from a training cohort were used to train a machine learning algorithm to predict the likelihood of 30-day readmission throughout a patient's admission. This algorithm was then validated in a validation cohort.

Enrollment: 500 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Description:

A subset of patients that are used to train the machine learning algorithm.

Validation

Description:

A subset of patients that are "held back" and used to validate the algorithm's accuracy.
