Patient Care Outcomes in Hospitalized Patients with Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis: A Cross-Sectional Database Study

ConclusionsAGEP was associated with longer length of hospitalization, higher rates of discharge to long-term care facilities, and higher mortality compared with non-severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction (SCAR) medication reactions. Future research should examine the association between morbid obesity and this particular drug reaction, and the possibility of decreasing hospitalization length given the relatively low risk of mortality among patients with AGEP.
