Atrial fibrillation (AF) has a high economic burden on the healthcare system with rehospitalizations as the most significant contributing factor necessitating an understanding of aspects related to hospitalizations to minimize economic costs and improve patient outcomes. Our study aims to assess whether all-cause 30-day hospital readmission following AF-specific hospitalization is associated with health-related social needs (HRSN) using the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD). All hospitalization data were abstracted from the 2015–2019 NRD, including hospitalizations for patients at least 18 years of age with a primary discharge diagnosis of AF. For each hospitalization, we identified secondary diagnoses for five HRSN domains including employment, family, housing, psychosocial, and socioeconomic status. Primary outcomes included all-cause 30-day readmission rates. Secondary outcomes included all-cause 90-day readmissions and diagnosis on readmissions. An estimated 1,807,460 index hospitalizations in the United States included a primary discharge diagnosis of AF. Of these, 97.3 % included a diagnosis in only one HRSN domain with the most frequently diagnosed HRSN domain being housing (54.5 %) followed by socioeconomic (29.4 %), family (10.0 %), employment (6.1 %), and psychosocial (2.8 %). Index hospitalizations that included any HRSN diagnosis had 2.2-times greater unadjusted odds of all-cause 30-day readmission (95 % CI: 2.1 to 2.3-times greater, p |
