Predicting Hospital Readmission in Medicaid Patients With COPD Using Administrative and Claims Data.
Article in Respiratory care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe goals of this study were to develop a model that predicts the risk of 30-d all-cause readmission in hospitalized Medicaid patients diagnosed with COPD and to create a predictive model in a retrospective study of a population cohort.
methodsWe analyzed 2016-2019 Medicaid claims data from 7 United States states. A
resultsAmong 12,283 COPD hospitalizations contributed by 9,437 subjects, 2,534 (20.6%) were 30-d readmissions. The final model included demographics, comorbidities, claims history, admission and discharge variables, length of stay, and seasons of admission and discharge. The observed versus predicted plot showed reasonable fit, and the estimated area under the ROC curve of 0.702 was robust in sensitivity analyses.
conclusionsOur model identified with acceptable accuracy hospitalized Medicaid patients with a diagnosis of COPD who are at high risk of readmission. One can use the model to develop post-discharge management interventions for reducing readmissions, for adjusting comparisons of readmission rates between sites/providers or over time, and to guide a patient-centered approach to patient care.
