Rehospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions in sepsis survivors- a nationwide cohort study using health claims data 2016-2019.
Article in Infection, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeSepsis survivors suffer from frequent rehospitalizations, of which a certain proportion is considered preventable by timely and adequate management in the outpatient setting (= ambulatory care sensitive conditions, ACSC). We aimed to assess the frequency of and risk factors for ACSC and infection-associated ACSC rehospitalization among sepsis survivors.
methodsPopulation-based, retrospective cohort study among using nationwide health claims data of the "AOK- die Gesundheitskasse". Sepsis patients with inpatient treatment in 2016-2019 were identified using ICD-codes. Among sepsis hospital survivors, ACSC and infection-related ACSC were identified. Patient-related risk factors for ACSC were assessed by a multiple logistic regression analysis.
resultsWe included 347,826 sepsis patients and 234,874 sepsis hospital survivors. A total of 53.2% and 21.3% of sepsis survivors had at least one ACSC and infection-related ACSC rehospitalizations in the 12-months post-discharge, respectively. ACSC rehospitalizations often occurred closely after discharge and more frequently affected older, male, care dependent patients as well as those living in rural areas.
conclusionACSC are common among sepsis survivors. This underlines to need for structured aftercare programs and interventions in these patients, particularly for ACSC risk groups which comprise older, male, care dependent patients in rural areas.
