Core Tip	Using the 2013 Nationwide Readmission Database, we sought to elucidate the hospital outcomes, including hospitalization costs, mortality rates, readmission rates, and factors contributing to readmission for the 13 most common gastrointestinal (GI)-related diseases. The results of our study highlight the large economic and healthcare burden for these 13 GI-related diseases and identify factors associated with early readmissions. Our study also reveals that preventable and non-chronic GI diseases such as Clostridium difficile, GI hemorrhage, and acute pancreatitis contribute a significant proportion of the overall costs, mortality, and readmission burden. Our data underscore a crucial opportunity for providers to aim at targeting preemptive care to reduce the initial and subsequent readmissions for these preventable GI-related diseases.
