Death and readmission after hospitalization with COVID-19

Target: The period following a discharge from hospitalization due to Covid-19 may be complicated. We investigated how many Covid-19 patients are readmitted or still die after being discharged from hospital and which patient characteristics are related to readmission or death. Setup: Retrospective, descriptive research. Method: This study included all patients who were admitted to the Zuyderland Medical Center in the period 1 March-1 June 2020 due to covid-19. The primary outcome measures were mortality and readmission. Univariate and multivariate regression analyzes were performed to identify risk factors for death and readmission.
