The heart failure population was taken from patients presenting to a University of North Carolina Healthcare System (UNCHCS) affiliated hospital or clinic that reported electronic health records to the Carolina Data Warehouse for Health (CDW-H). A description of the variables used in this analysis are available in the data dictionary (L:/PRIV/EPHD_CRB/Cavin/CARES/Data Dictonaries/HF short term PM25 and readmissions data dictionary.xlsx) associated with this manuscript. Analysis code is available in L:/PRIV/EPHD_CRB/Cavin/CARES/Project Analytic Code/Lauren Wyatt/DailyPM_HF_readmission.
