Cardiovascular Events Among Survivors of Sepsis Hospitalization: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background Sepsis is associated with an elevated risk of late cardiovascular events among hospital survivors. Methods and Results We included OptumLabs Data Warehouse patients from 2009 to 2019 who survived a medical/nonsurgical hospitalization lasting at least 2 nights. The association between sepsis during hospitalization, based on explicit and implicit discharge International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9)/Tenth Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes, with subsequent death and rehospitalization was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariable Cox proportional-hazards models. The study population included 2 258 464 survivors of nonsurgical hospitalization (5 396 051 total patient-years of follow-up). A total of 808 673 (35.8%)
