Acute Myocardial Infarction Readmission Risk Prediction Models: A Systematic Review of Model Performance [Original Articles]

Conclusions
Current AMI-specific readmission risk prediction models have modest predictive ability and uncertain generalizability given methodological limitations. No existing models provide actionable information in real time to enable early identification and risk-stratification of patients with AMI before hospital discharge, a functionality needed to optimize the potential effectiveness of readmission reduction interventions.
