Abstract
The present invention provides a method of evaluating a patient in a hospital prior to discharge to determine if the patient is or is not at risk of early readmission if the patient were to be discharged from the hospital. The invention also provides a method of evaluating and monitoring the condition of a patient after discharge from a hospital. Both methods comprise measuring the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of a body fluid of the patient, a tissue of the patient of both.
