Abstract (EN): This study analysed 88 944 hospitalizations for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) in Portugal from 2000 to 2016, using nationwide registry data. Results revealed an increasing burden of SSTI hospitalizations, with rates rising from 47.5 to 53.5 per 100 000 people. Although in-hospital mortality rose from 2.1% to 3.1%, adjustments for Charlson Comorbidity Index, sex and age showed a declining predicted probability of in-hospital mortality, highlighting the impact of ageing and comorbidities in this population.
