Methods
We used the 2003-2011 CA, 2005-2012 NY, and 2005-2013 FL HCUP State Inpatient Databases to determine the incidence of septicemia in women following vaginal and cesarean delivery. Septicemia, emm, and chorio were identified by ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes during the delivery hospitalization and in any readmissions within 6 weeks after delivery discharge. Univariate analyses were performed, stratified by type of delivery.
