The Houston Chronicle spoke to UTMB’s Wei-Chen Lee about her study comparing readmission rates for women giving birth in rural hospitals and those in urban hospitals. “While we found that the readmission rate was a little bit higher in cesarean deliveries, we still found that regardless of the delivery mode, the rural population who gave birth in rural hospitals had a higher readmission rate compared to the urban population,” Lee told the Chronicle.
