Predictors of 30‐Day Recurrent Emergency Department Visits for Hyperglycemia in Patients With Diabetes: A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study
This multicentre prospective study reports predictors independently associated with 30-day recurrent ED visits for hyperglycemia. These predictors should be considered by ED clinicians when making disposition and follow-up plans for this important patient population, and future interventions should explore the interaction between hyperglycemia and substance use to prevent recurrent ED visits and reduce healthcare system costs and utilization.
