Abstract

A readmissão hospitalar não planejada é um evento comum e gera impacto financeiro significativo para as organizações e sistemas de saúde. Ela pode estar relacionada com inúmeras causas como tratamentos incompletos, erros de medicação, problemas socioeconômicos, dentre outros. Devido a isso, torna-se importante identificar os pacientes sob maior risco. O objetivo desta revisão é verificar como vem sendo utilizado o escore LACE para a avaliação do risco de readmissão em diferentes contextos e qual a sua variação de performance. Utilizou-se as bases de dados Bireme e PubMed, incluindo todos os artigos que citassem o uso do LACE na readmissão hospitalar, excluindo  artigos duplicados, revisões sistemáticas ou mapeamentos sistemáticos. Concluimos que o escore LACE apresentou variação de acurácia nos relatos incluídos nesta revisão e, apesar do seu potencial como ferramenta para triagem dos pacientes sob risco, necessita validação na população-alvo antes da sua adoção na prática clínica.
