Background: Previous estimates of the incidence of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) in the United States have substantial limitations and underestimate its occurrence. Improvements in hospital mortality after NSTI have increased the number of survivors at risk for long-term sequelae. This study estimates the incidence of NSTI and the burden of re-admission and associated healthcare spending in patients who survived admission for NSTI.

估计美国坏死性软组织感染的影响：发病率和再入院率

背景：先前对美国坏死性软组织感染 (NSTI) 发生率的估计有很大的局限性并低估了其发生率。NSTI 后住院死亡率的改善增加了面临长期后遗症风险的幸存者数量。本研究估计了 NSTI 的发病率以及在 NSTI 入院后幸存下来的患者重新入院的负担和相关的医疗保健支出。
