Key result
Between 2010 and 2015, 30-day hospital readmission rates for sepsis survivors declined from 26.4% to 23.1%, offset by an increase in emergency department visits from 2.8% to 5.4%.
Cohort (n=17,256)
Absolute Event Rate: 23.1% vs 26.4%
Between 2010 and 2015, declining sepsis mortality led to an increased number of survivors at risk for readmission, with modest declines in 30-day readmissions offset by rising emergency department visits.
Declining sepsis readmissions may mask rising ED burden among survivors; leaves open optimal post-discharge strategies.

Meyer et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Sepsis (n=17,256). Time period (2010 to 2015) vs. 2010 baseline was evaluated on 30-day hospital readmission rate. Between 2010 and 2015, 30-day hospital readmission rates for sepsis survivors declined from 26.4% to 23.1%, offset by an increase in emergency department visits from 2.8% to 5.4%.
