Criteria for critical revisit was ICU admission or death within three days of discharge from the ED

Critical revisits are extremely rare

0.1% of patients have a critical revisit after discharge
0.00001% die after revisit

Of the patients that do experience critical revisits, the two major risk factors are

Asthma - relative risk 2.24
Chronic medical conditions - incidence rate ratio 11.03

Of the top ten diagnoses that lead to critical revisits, 5 are respiratory

Others include cellulitis, seizures, gastrointestinal disease, appendectomy, and sickle cell crisis.
