Does the pattern and rate of 90-day readmissions differ after hospitalization for severe sepsis compared to other acute medical conditions?
The study investigates the reasons for 90-day readmissions after severe sepsis compared to other acute medical conditions to identify potentially preventable rehospitalizations.
Prescott et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Severe sepsis. Hospitalization for severe sepsis vs. Hospitalization for 15 common acute medical conditions was evaluated on 90-day readmission rate and readmission diagnoses. Hospitalization for severe sepsis was evaluated for 90-day readmission rates compared to other acute conditions, though specific quantitative results were not reported in the abstract.
