Abstract: Objective To investigate if the readmission rate of hepatitis B cirrhosis which was the main
hospitalization of infectious diseases hospital could be one of the evaluation indicators of the medical quality
and to explore the factors affecting the readmission of cirrhosis patients with hepatitis B. Methods All of the
inpatient cases due to hepatitis B cirrhosis were collected from 2010 to 2014 in the Liver Disease Center of
Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University. The 15-day unplanned readmission rate was calculated.
The control group were randomly selected according to 1∶2 ratio. Logistic regression analysis was
performed to analyze the influencing factors of unplanned hospitalization in cirrhosis patients with hepatitis B.
Results Of all the 1352 cases of hepatitis B cirrhosis, the number of unplanned readmission was 114, and the
15-day unplanned readmission rate was 8.43%. Logistic regression analysis showed that age [95%CI: (1.012,
1.038), P = 0.035] and ascites recurrence [95%CI: (3.325, 5.873), P ＜ 0.001] were the factors affecting
the readmission of cirrhosis patients with hepatitis B. Conclusion Elderly and ascites recurrence were
significantly associated with 15 days of unplanned readmission in cirrhosis patients with hepatitis B.
