Figures
- Figure 1:
Distribution of probability that an urgent, unplanned readmission was avoidable. Of the 649 urgent readmissions reviewed, those that had a probability of more than 50% were classified as being potentially avoidable.
- Figure 2:
Association between time since discharge from index hospital admission, plotted by decile, and the probability of readmission classified as potentially avoidable. This analysis was limited to the 649 urgent readmissions. Error bars = 95% confidence intervals.

Characteristics of 4812 patients discharged from hospital who were included in the study

Proportion of 4812 patients discharged from hospital who had an urgent readmission and proportion of 649 patients whose urgent readmission was deemed potentially avoidable, by hospital
