Effect of a Multicomponent Sepsis Transition and Recovery Program on Mortality and Readmissions After Sepsis: The Improving Morbidity During Post-Acute Care Transitions for Sepsis Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate whether a nurse navigator-led, multicomponent Sepsis Transition And Recovery program improves 30-day mortality and readmission outcomes after sepsis hospitalization.

Desig

n: Multisite pragmatic randomized clinical trial.

Setting

Three hospitals in North Carolina from January 2019 to March 2020.

Patients

Eligible patients hospitalized for suspected sepsis and deemed high-risk for mortality or readmission by validated internal risk models.

Interventions

Patients were randomized to receive usual care alone (i.e., routine transition support, outpatient care; n = 342) or additional Sepsis Transition And Recovery support (n = 349). The 30-day intervention involved a multicomponent transition service led by a nurse navigator through tele
