Sepsis survivors readmitted within 30 days: outcomes of a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate a cohort of sepsis survivors readmitted within 30 days postdischarge, explore the one-year mortality rate based on different causes of readmission and identify factors associated with increased one-year mortality risk among all sepsis survivors readmitted within this timeframe.

Methods

This was a single-center retrospective cohort study involving adult sepsis survivors who were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Patients were categorized into 3 groups based on the cause of readmission: same-source infectious readmission, different-source infectious readmission, and noninfectious readmission. The outcome of interest was all-cause one-year mortality. Cox proportional hazard analysis was performed to compare factors associated with one-year mortali
