Return Hospital Admissions Among 1419 Covid‐19 Patients Discharged from Five US Emergency Departments 2020-08-27 .txt text/plain 1931 137 56 While many patient 18 characteristics, co-morbidities, and diagnostic tests have been evaluated as risk 19 factors for severe Covid-19 infection, we sought to include risk factors relevant to 20 patients being considered for ED discharge and ensure the robustness of the 21 model by limiting the number of covariates. Three additional risk factors were 6 associated with increased odds of return hospital admission within 7 days of the 7 index ED encounter: hypertension (AOR 1.5; 95%CI 1.1 to 2.0), obesity (AOR 8 1.5; 95%CI 1.1 to 2.0), and age between 41-59 years (AOR 2.1; 95%CI 1.6 to 9 2.8). 10 11 To our knowledge, no prior study has evaluated the outcome of return hospital 12 admission in patients with Covid-19 following ED discharge. Sixth, 17 we did not include the full range of potential risk factors as covariates in the 18 model that may be associated with return hospital admission. ./cache/cord-254177-jzdy1aq2.txt ./txt/cord-254177-jzdy1aq2.txt
