More are surviving severe sepsis ... to go to LTACs

Severe sepsis has had a 35-45% mortality rate in clinical trials. Gagan Kumar et al use national observational data to suggest that while population rates of severe sepsis are increasing, survival has likely improved, with mortality falling from 39% to 27%, 2000-2007. However, most of the new survivors are not going home, but rather to long-term acute care and other skilled nursing facilities. (Their outcomes after that are unclear.)
