Predictors of Early Hospital Readmission in HIV-infected Patients with Pneumonia
Journal Title: Journal of General Internal Medicine - Year 2003, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Although hospitalization patterns have been studied, little is known about hospital readmission among HIV-infected patients in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy. We explored the risk factors for early readmission to a tertiary care inner-city hospital among HIV-infected patients with pneumonia in Vancouver, Canada.
