Risk factors for rehospitalization after trauma: a follow-up study.

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
introductionUnplanned rehospitalizations represent a heavy burden to patients, their families, and an economic burden on the healthcare system.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine patterns of trauma-related rehospitalization within 7, 30, 60, and 90 days after initial discharge, and to assess the association between patient age and the risk of rehospitalization, while adjusting for relevant demographic and clinical factors.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study links two national databases: The Israeli National Trauma Registry and the Ministry of Health's hospitalization database. Univariate analyses (χ
resultsThe study included 297,022 trauma patients (median age 34 years [IQR: 14-67]; 59.3% male). Most injuries were non-penetrating (88.8%), and the majority were classified as mild (ISS 1-8, 64.9%). Falls (53.0%) and road traffic accidents (23.8%) were the most common injury mechanisms. The most affected age group was 19-54 years (34.3%), and 71.3% of patients were from the Jewish population group. The rate was 4.4% for rehospitalized within seven days, 9.2% within 30 days, 12.3% within 60 days, and 14.7% within 90 days. In multivariable analysis, a clear association was observed between increasing age and higher odds of rehospitalization following discharge for trauma. Compared to the reference group (ages 0-4), older patients exhibited substantially elevated odds across all follow-up periods. For instance, patients aged 75-84 had odds ratios (ORs) of 4.39, 4.75, 4.95, and 3.33 for rehospitalization within 7, 30, 60, and 90 days, respectively. Similarly, individuals aged 85 + had ORs of 5.42, 5.68, 6.0, and 3.47, respectively. Higher odds of rehospitalization peaked at 60 days post-discharge and decreased by 90 days, suggesting possible stabilization. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Comprehensive discharge planning and a care transition system for trauma patients should involve a multidisciplinary team to address the patient's specific condition and rehospitalization risk factors, especially among older adults hospitalized following a fall.
