Thirty‐Day Hospital Readmissions in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Predictors and Hospital‐ and State‐Level Variation

We found that ~1 in 6 hospitalized patients with SLE were readmitted within 30 days of discharge, with higher rates among historically underserved populations. Significant geographic and hospital-level variation in risk-adjusted readmission rates suggests potential for quality improvement.
