Associations Between LOS and Rates of 30-Day Readmission Association between length of stay (LOS) and rate of 30-day (A) all-cause, (B) cardiovascular, (C) heart failure HF, and (D) noncardiovascular readmissions. Length of stay was modeled with the use of restricted cubic splines and adjusted for the covariates shown in the Online Appendix. The solid line indicates adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for any length of stay, with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) indicated by the shaded area. The reference is indicated by the intersection of the underlying reasons (hazard ratio: 1.0), above which there is an increased readmission rate, and the dashed line indicating the mean length of stay.
