LOINC description : 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];
