Complex sample Cox regression model of readmissions, deaths and both combined the year following hospitalisation

Outcome	Unadjusted			Adjusted (age, sex and comorbidities)
	Patients, n	HR (95% CI)	P value	Patients, n	HR (95% CI)	P value
Death	850	3.13 (1.62 to 6.04)	<0.01	846	2.00 (0.98 to 4.09)	0.06
Readmissions	830	1.50 (1.03 to 2.19)	0.04	826	1.55 (1.05 to 2.27)	0.03
Death or readmission	830	1.62 (1.13 to 2.33)	0.008	826	1.55 (1.07 to 2.27)	0.02

134 (108 with sepsis and 26 without) patients who died during hospitalisation were excluded from analysis. HRs are presented, comparing sepsis hospitalisations to non-sepsis hospitalisations. The comorbidities adjusted for were cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dementia, cancer and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
