An evaluation of outcomes and hospital readmissions among individuals with candidemia using statewide surveillance

Abstract

Abstract Using statewide surveillance, we describe candidemia in Connecticut during 2019–2020. Mortality was high among individuals with candidemia, and the readmission rate was high among survivors. Mortality and readmission were associated with hospital-onset candidemia. Understanding risk factors for mortality and readmission can optimize prevention strategies to reduce mortality and readmissions.
