Area Deprivation Index and Cardiac Readmissions: Evaluating Risk‐Prediction in an Electronic Health Record

Background Assessment of the social determinants of post-hospital cardiac care is needed. We examined the association and predictive ability of neighborhood-level determinants (area deprivation index, ADI), readmission risk, and mortality for heart failure, myocardial ischemia, and atrial fibrillation. Methods and Results Using a retrospective (January 1, 2011-December 31, 2018) analysis of a large healthcare system, we assess the predictive...
