dc.description	Main Points 1. In a recent cohort study, almost ¼ of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had increased care needs at discharge. Pre-admission frailty was strongly associated with increased care needs at discharge. 2. Comorbid conditions such as heart disease and diabetes may identify patient at greater risk of adverse events following discharge. 3. Remote patient monitoring of discharged COVID-19 patients may reduce the risk of hospital readmission. During the COVID-19 surge in New York City, lenient discharge criteria in conjunction with remote monitoring after discharge were associated with a rate of early readmissions after COVID-related hospitalizations that was comparable to the rate of readmissions after other reasons for hospitalization before the COVID pandemic.	en_US
