Factors associated with readmission and mortality in adult patients with skin and soft tissue infections.

Readmitted patients had healthcare-related S. aureus infection, had received prior antibiotic therapy, and presented comorbid conditions such as ischemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, chronic liver disease, or DM. Comorbidities such as advanced age, DM, heart failure, and chronic liver disease were associated with complications and higher infection-related mortality.
