Multivariable predictors that were included in at least 4 of the 24 articles that reported a multivariable model predicting hospital readmission. The relative significance percentage reflects the number of times the variable was significant within a multivariable model (numerator) divided by the frequency that variable was included in a multivariable model regardless of significance (denominator). See supplemental digital content in online-only Appendix Table 2 for full definitions of variables.
