What are the frequency, cost, and risk factors of readmissions among severe sepsis survivors?
Readmissions are common and costly among severe sepsis survivors, driven by sociodemographics, comorbidities, and index hospitalization factors.
The 30-day and 180-day readmissions are common in sepsis survivors with significant resultant cost and mortality. Patient sociodemographics and comorbidities as well as index hospitalization characteristics are associated with 30-day readmission rates.
