Trends in mortality after a sepsis hospitalization: a nationwide prospective registry study from 2008 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have reported on mortality beyond one year after sepsis. We aim to describe trends in short- and long-term mortality among patients admitted with sepsis, and to describe the association between clinical characteristics and mortality for improved monitoring, treatment and prognosis.
