HOSPITAL Score to Predict Readmission Risk see also the LACE index.
no (0 points)YES (1 point) <-- Hemoglobin level below 12 g/dL
no (0 points)YES (2 points) <-- Discharge from oncology service
no (0 points)YES (1 point1) <-- Sodium level below 135 mEq/L (135 mmol/L)
no (0 points)YES (1 point) <-- Procedure done during hospital stay
no (0 points)YES (1 point) <-- Index admission type is nonelective
none (0 points)one to five (2 points)more than 5 (5 points) <-- Number of hospital admissions during the previous year
no (0 points)YES (2 points) <-- Length of stay 5 or more days
