Using statewide surveillance, we describe candidemia in Connecticut during 2019-2020. Mortality was high among individuals with candidemia, and the readmission rate was high among survivors. Mortality and readmission were associated with hospital-onset candidemia. Understanding risk factors for mortality and readmission can optimize prevention strategies to reduce mortality and readmissions.
