Use of healthcare before and after sepsis in Sweden: a case-control study.
Jacob DahlbergAdam LinderLisa MellhammarPublished in: BMJ open (2023)
Patients hospitalised for sepsis had a higher risk of readmission the year after discharge compared with patients without sepsis. The most common diagnoses at readmission were infection followed by cardiovascular disease. With better follow-up, some of these readmissions could potentially be prevented. Patients hospitalised for sepsis had sought prehospital contact the week prior to hospitalisation to a greater extent than patients without sepsis.
