Readiness for Hospital Discharge and 30‑Day Unplanned Readmission in Older Adult Sepsis Survivors from Internal Medicine Wards: A Cross‑Sectional Study.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2026. 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
Aim: To investigate discharge readiness among older adult sepsis survivors and its influencing factors, and to explore the relationship with 30-day unplanned readmission. Methods: From May 2024 to May 2025, a cohort of 330 older adult sepsis survivors was recruited from an infectious disease center in China. Before discharge, participants completed questionnaires on demographic and disease characteristics, the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS), and the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS). A follow-up survey on the 30-day unplanned readmission was subsequently conducted. The data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression. Results: The mean scores for RHDS and QDTS were 93.54 ± 19.96 and 155.21 ± 24.57. RHDS was primarily influenced by the QDTS, length of hospitalization, medical expenses payment, and general self-efficacy, which together explained 43.0% of the variance. Lower discharge readiness was associated with a higher risk of unplanned readmission within 30 days. Conclusion: The readiness for hospital discharge of older adult sepsis survivors is moderate and influenced by multiple factors, with the quality of discharge teaching being particularly significant. Higher levels of discharge readiness are associated with a lower rate of unplanned readmission.
