Several factors can contribute to pediatric readmissions:
Chronic Conditions: Children with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and congenital heart disease are at higher risk for readmissions. Infections: Post-discharge infections can lead to readmissions, particularly in immunocompromised children. Surgical Complications: Children who have undergone surgery may be readmitted due to complications like infections or wound issues. Socioeconomic Factors: Families with limited resources may struggle with follow-up care, leading to higher readmission rates. Inadequate Follow-up: Lack of proper follow-up care and support can result in complications that necessitate readmission.
