The Association Between Patients? Understanding of Their Medications and Discharge Plan with 30-day Readmission in Liver Cirrhosis Patients

While these are important preliminary studies that document the high burden that patients with cirrhosis place on the health care system, they did not assess patient?s or their caregiver?s understanding of their medical problems and discharge plans and how this understanding correlates with the 30-day readmission rates. This perspective is essential to guide future interventions to improve the quality of discharge process and to the successful transition to home and self-care.

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
