In a national cohort of 1775 patients discharged from Veterans Affairs medical centers after hospitalization for COVID-19 during March-July 2020, 479 (27%) were readmitted (20%) or died (9%) within 60 days of discharge. Rates of readmission or death by 60 days were significantly lower than those for matched survivors of pneumonia (26% vs. 32%) or heart failure (27% vs. 37%), but higher during the first 10 days after discharge (13% vs. 10% and 14% vs 9%, respectively). The most common readmission diagnoses were COVID-19 (30.2%), sepsis (8.5%), pneumonia (3.1%), and heart failure (3.1%).<\/p>\n
