Abstract:

ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors in readmitted patients with coronary heart disease, intending to strength the preventive and therapeutic strategy to reduce the readmission ratio of highrisk population. MethodsA total of 115 readmitted patients with CHD were selected as the experiment group, on the contrary, 78 initial patients with CHD were statistically analyzed as the control group. The relationship between readmission and clinical indicators were explored. ResultsThe valnes in age,high blood pressure,T2DM, AMI, cardiac function NYHA ⅢⅣ, LAD, LVEDD, IVS and LVPW were significantly higher in experiment group than in control group, however, LVEF was significantly lower in experiment group than in control group (P<0.05).  Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age, hypertension, LAD, and  LVEF were associated with readmission (P<0.05). ConclusionStrengthening the intervention and devoting special attention on patients with high blood pressure and diabetes, elderly ages and the related complications, taking measures to improve heart function will have substantial benefits on preventing the readmission in patients with CHD.
