Clinicians often encounter abnormal blood pressure at hospital discharge. However, few existing studies quantify the association risk short-term post-discharge outcomes and the discharge SBP value. In order to construct such a frame -work we study the association between the last SBP measured during a hospitalization and the odds of 30-day readmission and/or death. We hypothesize that the lowest risk would occur at normo-tensive SBP readings and the odds of an adverse post-discharge outcomes would increase progressively at higher and lower levels of discharge SBP.
