External validation of the modified <scp>LACE</scp>+, <scp>LACE</scp>+, and <scp>LACE</scp> scores to predict readmission or death after hospital discharge

Abstract

The mLACE+, LACE+ and LACE scores predict hospital readmission with excellent calibration and adequate discrimination. These scores can be used to target interventions designed to prevent unplanned hospital readmission.
