JAMA: J Am Med Assoc. 2013;309(4):355–63. This paper describes the clinical epidemiology of 30-day readmissions after hospitalization for three common cardiopulmonary conditions and finds that older patients are vulnerable to readmission from a broad spectrum of conditions for the entire month after hospital discharge.
