Performance-measure risk adjustment is of great interest to hospital stakeholders who face substantial financial penalties from readmissions pay-for-performance (P4P) measures. Despite evidence the association between social determinants health (SDH) and individual patient readmission risk, effect adjusting for SDH on P4P hospitals not well understood.To determine whether commonly available measures affects readmissions-based penalty status a national cohort children's...
