Abstract

This study addresses pediatric hospital readmissions and emergency department (ED) visits, affecting 22% of children within one year of discharge. These acute medical events (AMEs) lead to emotional stress, missed school, and financial burdens for families. Existing literature lacks long-term follow-up, especially regarding caregiver-reported risks predicting future preventable events. The study aims to bridge this gap by examining preventable AMEs utilizing three methods of preventability (NYU ED Algorithm, ACSC, and Physician rating) over a one-year period. Specific aims include assessing caregiver-reported social risks and child medical status to predict AMEs, anticipating that factors like patient race, access to care, and familial factors will strongly influence outcomes.
