Exploratory Study for Readmission in Cancer Patients

Research Question: Can the duration of time between two consecutive admissions play an important role in the treatment of cancer?

Cancer is a lethal disease. Duration of time between two consecutive admissions or out of hospital plays an important role in healthcare service quality. We used data of 22,231 admissions. Methodology used was hierarchical linear regression on factors like age, marital status, number of admissions and whether the treating hospital is in the same province as the patient.
