COVID-19: Outcomes of patients with confirmed COVID-19 re-admitted to hospital.	2020-07-08		.txt	text/plain	973	52	52	We aimed to investigate clinical outcomes of patients with confirmed COVID-19 who were readmitted to hospital, in order to identify risk factors for patients discharged and subsequent management of COVID-19 in clinical practice. In the re-admission group, the average time before being re-admitted to hospital was 10 days (IQR 6 -15), with dyspnoea the presenting complaint in 13/25 (52%). As far as we are aware, this is the first study looking at clinical outcomes for patients with COVID-19 who were readmitted to hospital. However, the high mortality rate (24%), and the median and prevalence of low SpO2 results in patients re-admitted is concerning and warrants further studies to evaluate reasons for re-admission, ensuring appropriate safety-netting when discharged. Based on our data on the average time before re-presentation at 10 days, enhanced, personalised follow up at 7 days in a formalised COVID-19 clinic with radiological imaging and oxygen saturation recording using pulse oximetry probes may help early identification of those at risk of deterioration, thus preventing re-admission.	./cache/cord-283758-0z3jwwby.txt	./txt/cord-283758-0z3jwwby.txt
