PurposeTo study the patterns of 90-day readmissions after hospitalization for endophthalmitis. MethodsUsing the Nationwide Readmissions Database, hospitalizations due to endophthalmitis were identified. Primary outcome was readmission within 90 days. Survival analysis was performed, and predictors of readmission were analyzed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. Results1865 patients met the inclusion criteria (mean age 58.3 years, female 47%). Of these, 440 (24%) patients were readmitted within 90 days. Most common reasons for readmissions were sepsis (14%), endophthalmitis (10%), acute renal failure (3%), pneumonia (3%), and corneal ulcer (3%). Heart failure (HR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.3-2.6), liver cirrhosis (HR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.4-3.7), infective endocarditis (HR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.4-4.3), and urinary tract infection (HR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-2.9) were independently associated with a higher risk of readmission. ConclusionNearly one in four patients hospitalized due to endophthalmitis get readmitted within 90 days, and most readmissions are due to recurrent endophthalmitis, other ocular complications, and systemic infections.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
