Title
Factors Associated with Readmissions in Ischemic Stroke: A Literature Review
Subject
ischemic stroke, readmission, risk factors
Description
Introduction: Readmission cases among stroke patients are common, with
only 15% of patients surviving and avoiding readmissions over a five-year
period. Ischemic stroke patients who are readmitted face a higher risk of
death and significantly increased healthcare costs. Therefore, identifying
factors associated with the readmission of ischemic stroke patients is
essential to prevent these occurrences.
Methods: Articles were selected following PRISMA Guidelines. A literature
review used three journal databases: ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google
Scholar. Keywords were aligned with the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH)
terms, including "readmission," "ischemic stroke," and "risk factors."
Several inclusion criteria were applied to identify eligible articles:
publication between 2014 and 2023 and written in English or Bahasa.
Sixteen eligible articles were ultimately included in the analysis.
Results: A total of 16 articles were reviewed (n = 354,682). The causes of
readmission in ischemic stroke patients were categorized into two
groups: neurological and non-neurological disorders. Seven common
comorbidities were identified as risk factors: hypertension,
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, previous stroke
events, and stroke recurrence.
Conclusion: The review revealed significant variation in readmission rates
among ischemic stroke patients, ranging from 6.7% to 74% within 28
days to 10 years. This trend was particularly pronounced among adults
and older women. These findings provide valuable insights for initiatives
to prevent patient readmissions and highlight the importance of
improving future care quality.
