One in 9 hospitalized COVID-19 patients die or get readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of being sent home, a new study has found.
Deaths were observed more often in men, older individuals, those with comorbidities and people who had a history of prior hospital stays, according to the peer-reviewed research published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Study authors called the rates of COVID-19 hospital readmissions and deaths “common.”
