  1. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess if adding LACE index to clinician predictions resulted in a prediction that was more likely to distinguish readmitted from non-readmitted patients. Results of this analysis were considered positive if the OR and 95% confidence intervals were greater than 1.0, with p < 0.05
