This study aimed to examine the hospital/ICU readmission rates and risk factors among patients discharged from the ICU.Materials and Methods:Patients older than 18 years who were hospitalised in the ICU between January 1, 2012 and October 31, 2016 and were re-admitted to the hospital/ICU within 30 days after discharge were retrospectively analysed.Results:A total of 510 patients met the inclusion criteria, of whom 91 (17.84%) patients were readmitted to the ICU.
