The LACE index can be used to predict the risk of hospital readmission or death within 30 days of hospital discharge in the general population. It is comprised of four elements: L - length of stay, A - acuity of admission, C - comorbidities, and E - Emergency department use. Scores from the four elements are summed for an overall LACE score which ranges from 0-19. Higher scores are associated with greater risk of hospital readmission and/or death within 30 days of hospital discharge. [PMID: 20194559]
