Factors Associated With Child and Youth Mental Health Readmissions From a US National Database.
Article in JAACAP open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To describe and identify factors associated with mental health (MH) readmission rates for youth ages 5 to 17 years discharged between January 2019 and November 2019. Method: This retrospective, cross-sectional analysis using the 2019 Nationwide Readmissions Database identified hospitalizations for patients with a primary diagnosis of an MH condition using the Clinical Classification Software groupings, which are based on Results: A 30-day readmission rate of 7.8% was found for the overall sample with significantly higher rates for youth younger than age 15 years. MH comorbidity was a factor in readmission rates; having ≥3 primary MH conditions was associated with higher rates of readmission (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.20). Significantly higher rates of readmission were noted for several diagnostic groupings including schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders (aOR = 1.95); bipolar and related disorders (aOR = 1.42); other specified and unspecified mood disorders (aOR = 1.42); disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders (aOR = 1.32); and neurodevelopmental disorders (aOR = 1.23). Having public insurance (aOR=1.28) and a longer length of stay (AOR = 1.71 for ≥15 days) were associated with significantly higher odds of an MH readmission. Conclusion: A concerning number of children admitted for MH conditions in 2019 were readmitted within 30 days (7.8%). Younger children, children with specific MH diagnoses, children with public health insurance, and children with a long initial length of stay have higher odds for readmission and represent a target for prevention and intervention. Diversity & Inclusion Statement: We worked to ensure that the study questionnaires were prepared in an inclusive way. Diverse cell lines and/or genomic datasets were not available.
