Abstract
Intensive care unit (ICU) readmission is associated with poorer outcomes, including higher mortality rate. Respiratory conditions are among the most common causes of ICU readmission. Several risk factors have been identified, such as older age, comorbidities, and higher severity scores. Preventing ICU readmission is of the utmost importance.
