Hospital readmission is a main cost driver for healthcare systems, but existing works often had poor or moderate predictive results. Although the available information differs in different studies, improving prediction is different from the search for important explanatory variables. With large sample size and abundant information, this study explores state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithms and shows their performance in prediction. Using administrative data on 1 631 611 hospital stays from Quebec between 1995 and 20
