Abstract

Introduction: Readmission indicates partial treatment of patients except for follow-up treatments. This study aimed to determine the causes of patients’ readmissions in TEACHING HOSPITALS at Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in 2010.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 864 out of 2798 medical records of patients readmitted to the hospitals were randomly selected. Data were collected using a checklist included 16 items in five sections. Validity and reliability of the checklist were assessed. Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, Fisher exact test, and Chi-squared test.Results: From all readmitted patients, 52.3% were females. Follow-up treatment was mentioned as the main cause of patients’ readmissions (46.5%). Recurrence of disease (20.3%), disease complications (14.5%), other diseases (10.4%), partial treatment (7.1%), postoperative complications (1%), and medical procedure complications (0.2%) were other causes of readmissions.Conclusion: This study showed that 56.9% of the causes of patients' readmissions were inevitable; and 43.1% of them were evitable. Some proper measurements to decrease patients' readmissions are equipping hospitals with adequate facilities for outpatient surgeries, performing non-invasive surgeries, improving outpatient clinics and quality of clinical services, visiting patients at home, and educating patients at the time of discharge.
