Patterns and predictors of readmission among sepsis survivors in a tertiary emergency department in Ethiopia
Nearly half of emergency sepsis survivors were readmitted within 180 days, predominantly within 30 days, and most readmissions were for infection. Predictors included younger age, malignancy status, and length of stay. These findings highlight the need for targeted discharge planning, antimicrobial stewardship, and early follow-up for high-risk patients in low-resource settings.
