Factors associated with access to post-sepsis care: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The objective of this scoping review is to identify and describe factors that affect access to post-sepsis care. Considering the burden faced by sepsis survivors, it is important to understand the facilitators and barriers to accessing post-sepsis care to facilitate the design and implementation of patient-centred and equitable pathways to care.

Methods and analysis

This scoping review will include studies that consider individuals who have experienced sepsis and any factors that may affect access to care, including comorbidities, discharge setting and social determinants of health. A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, HealthSTAR and Scopus will be conducted. The extracted data will be summarised and presented thematically.
