Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST pv5QR0xM. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. Length of stay (LOS) and hospital readmission for persons receiving medical rehabilitation were examined. Methods. A total of 96 473 patient records (1944-1998) were analyzed. Mean age of patients was 68,97 years ; 61% were female and 83% were non-Hispanic White. Results. A dedrease in LOS of 6.07 days (SD=3.23) and increase in hospital readmission were found across all impairment groups (P<. 001. Readmission increases ranged from 6.7% for amputations to 1.4% for orthopedic conditions. LOS was longer (2.1 days) for readmitted patients (P<01.) Age was not a significant predictor of rehospitalization. Conclusins. Understanding variables associated with rehospitalization is important as prospective payment systems are introduced for postacute care.
