Among older Mexican American Medicare beneficiaries, greater pre-admission LSA scores were associated with an increased risk of 30-day readmission and a decreased risk of mortality within 2 years following hospitalization. Future work should further investigate the relationship between LSA and post-hospitalization outcomes in a larger sample of Mexican American older adults.
