From: Long-term survival and healthcare utilization outcomes attributable to sepsis and pneumonia

Figure 2

Inpatient admission incidence ratios associated with infections. Incidence ratios associated with (A) pneumonia and (B) sepsis are shown. Model 1 estimates the full relationship between infection and utilization but treats censoring (time at risk) as random. Model 2 separately identifies an underlying pattern of utilization following discharge and an additive component based on the time until death following discharge. It admits a polynomial to account for changes in utilization as a function of time until death.
