“…A post hoc power analysis was performed for each logistic regression model using the software G*Power 3.1.9.2 (Faul, Erdfelder, Lange, & Buchner, ). A total of 286 patients was suitable to achieve a power of 99.9% based on a two‐tailed, alpha of 0.05 and odds ratio 2.0 (Son & Kim, ). All statistical tests were two‐sided and differences were considered significant when p < .05.…”

Aims:To investigate the impact of limited health literacy on 1-year hospital readmission among both older men and women with heart failure.Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods:A total of 286 patients with heart failure (men = 144, women = 142) aged 65 years or older at baseline from two tertiary hospitals were enrolled from June-November 2017. Patients were followed up until November 2018. The Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool was used to assess baseline health literacy. One-year readmission after discharge was assessed via medical records or telephone interview. A hierarchical logistic regression was performed. Results:The prevalence rates of limited health literacy and 1-year hospital readmission among older women were 74.7% and 35.9%, respectively, compared with 48.6% and 27.1% in older men. Limited health literacy significantly increased the risk of 1-year hospital readmission in both older men and women with heart failure. More importantly, older women with limited health literacy had a much higher risk of hospital readmission (odds ratio: 10.17, 95% confidence interval: 2.19-47.14) than did older men with limited health literacy (odds ratio: 5.27, 95% confidence interval: 2.04-13.59). Conclusions:Our findings highlight that a baseline assessment of health literacy would help prevent unplanned hospital readmissions after discharge in both older men and women with heart failure. Health professionals should recognize that women with limited health literacy are more vulnerable to re-hospitalization than are men with limited health literacy.Impact: Few studies have addressed gender differences in the link between health literacy and hospital readmission among patients with heart failure. We found that older women with limited health literacy had a much higher risk of hospital readmission than did their male counterparts. Health professionals should be aware of gender differences in health literacy in discharge planning, including self-management counselling for older patients with heart failure.

ObjectivesDelays in the evaluation and treatment of iron deficiency can lead to increased disease‐related morbidity and mortality. Electronic consultation (e‐consult) is a referral modality that allows providers quicker access to recommendations from a specialist based on electronic chart review. While the use of e‐consult is expanding in classical hematology, gaps exist in the understanding of patient outcomes related to its use for iron deficiency.MethodsWe randomly selected 200 e‐consults and 200 traditional referrals from 3,336 hematology referrals for iron deficiency at a single center. The primary outcomes of the retrospective analysis were: time to completion of the referral, and time to treatment with intravenous iron. Secondary outcomes included recurrence of iron deficiency, need for repeat e‐consult, conversion to in‐person evaluation, and assessment of whether the etiology of iron deficiency was addressed.ResultsE‐consults significantly reduced the time from referral to intravenous iron repletion (e‐consult, 33 days; traditional referral, 68 days; p < .05). Assessment of the underlying etiology occurred in 70.7% of the e‐consult encounters compared to 92.5% of traditional referrals (p < .05).ConclusionsThese findings highlight advantages of e‐consults in improving care delivery in iron deficiency, and identifying gaps that can be improved through practice standardization to ensure equitable, high‐value care.
