Key Results: When controlling for potentially confounding variables, a negative relationship was found between health literacy and the number of inpatient hospitalizations (β = −0.041, p = .009) and the total number of days spent hospitalized (β = −0.028, p = .023) independently, whereas the relationship between health literacy and the number of 30-day readmissions failed to reach significance (β = −0.002, p = .903).
