Low neighborhood opportunities lead to increased disease severity and hospitalizations

Low income associated with increased BMI and chronic stress

1. In this retrospective observational study, the authors observed that residing in a disadvantaged neighborhood and being discharged from a safety-net hospital were independently associated with an increased 30-day risk of readmission.

2. There was a higher association observed between readmission risk and the hospital’s safety-net index compared to the patient’s neighborhood disadvantage status.

Evidence Rating Level: 2 (Good)

Study Rundown: The term safety-net hospital refers to a center that cares for a large number of significantly disadvantaged patients. The authors of this study evaluated the independent contributions of patients’ neighborhoods and the hospital’s service area with respect to the risk of 30-day readmission. The primary outcome measured was unplanned 30-day hospital readmission. Through this retrospective observational study, the authors found that residing in a disadvantaged neighborhood and being discharged from a safety net hospital were independently associated with an increased 30-day readmission risk among similar patients. Further, a greater association was found with the hospital’s safety-net index compared to the patient’s neighborhood disadvantage status. Since this study took place in Maryland, and involved residents discharged from a Maryland hospital in 2015, a main limitation of this study is its generalizability..
