Predictors of Hospital Readmissions for Ulcerative Colitis in the United States: A National Database Study

Conclusions: On a national level, 1 in 10 hospitalizations for UC was followed by an unplanned readmission within 30 days. Not having an endoscopy on the index hospitalization and depression were independently associated with readmissions. Further studies should examine if strategies that address these predictors can decrease readmissions.
