Question
Appendix No. 4 Quality Indicators Rehospitalization within 30 days following a myocardial infarction
Answer
The aim of this indicator is to track all unplanned hospital admissions after a given event (in this case AIM) within 30 days. It is not possible to restrict to cardiovascular diagnoses (although it is evident from the datasets distributed to hospitals that these also account for the majority of rehospitalizations), as a patient may present to the hospital with other problems such as nosocomial infection, adverse reaction to medication, poor tolerance to treatment, etc. We also see the measurement of rehospitalizations with all diagnoses in countries such as Australia, Canada or the USA, which are countries with comparable measurement methodology as SVK.
