From: Inpatient hospital performance is associated with post-discharge sepsis mortality
Cox proportional hazard model curves showing adjusted time-to mortality (a) and time-to-readmission (b) for patients who survive a sepsis hospitalization. Curves are stratified into cohorts defined by the quartile of observed:expected (O:E) in-hospital sepsis mortality aggregated at the level of the hospital. Survival analysis is adjusted for age, race, sex, comorbidities, infection source, organ dysfunction, skilled nursing facility residence prior to admission, community factors (percent Black, percent Hispanic, percent with high school degree or higher, percent below poverty line), ICU services in hospital, teaching hospital
