Implementation of a Sibling Donor Advocate: The University of Chicago Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Experience

Abstract

to day 100. Three of five patients discharged with home healthcare experienced at least one readmission. Three of four patients discharged home had at least one readmission. Discussion & Implications: Due to small sample size, no statistical significance was achieved, however this warrants further investigation with a larger sample size to determine if a statistically significant correlation can be established between discharge to acute rehab and D+100 readmission. If able to establish a correlation, this would potentially decrease D+100 readmissions and decrease healthcare expenditure. It could potentially be expanded to general oncology patients too.
