Influence of gender on age-associated in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock: a prospective nationwide multicenter cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Numerous epidemiological studies investigating gender-dependent clinical outcomes in sepsis have shown conflicting evidence. This study aimed to investigate the effect of gender on in-hospital mortality due to sepsis according to age group.

Methods

This study used data from the Korean Sepsis Alliance, an ongoing nationwide prospective multicenter cohort from 19 participating hospitals in South Korea. All adult patients diagnosed with sepsis in the emergency departments of the participating hospitals between September 2019 and December 2021 were included in the analysis. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared between male and female. Eligible patients were stratified by age into 19-50 years, 50-80 years, and ≥ 80 years old individuals.
