Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) patients are vulnerable to have recurrent hospital admissions. The reported prevalence of readmissions rates in hemodialysis patients ranged from 11.8% to 90% and was highest in first month after HD initiation. It has been associated with higher morbidity and increase cost on health care systems. Risk factors for worse prognosis were older age, male gender, comorbid conditions and critical care admission. Data addressing such an issue in the Middle East is very limited. We aim to study causes and outcomes of recurrent admissions among HD patients in a tertiary hospital in UAE.
