Key Points Question How do readmission rates vary across complex chronic disease for adolescents and young adults with increasing age? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 215 580 adolescents and young adults hospitalized for treatment of complex chronic diseases (cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, spina bifida, or sickle cell anemia), 30-day hospital readmission rates varied significantly across disease categories. As age increased from 15 to 30 years, unadjusted, 30-day, unplanned hospital readmission rates increased significantly for all complex chronic disease cohorts. Meaning Further attention is needed to hospital discharge care, self-management, and prevention of readmission in adolescents and young adults with complex chronic disease.
