Shock indices are associated with in-hospital mortality among patients with septic shock and normal left ventricular ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The understanding of shock indices in patients with septic shock is limited, and their values may vary depending on cardiac function.

Methods

This prospective cohort study was conducted across 20 university-affiliated hospitals (21 intensive care units [ICUs]). Adult patients (≥19 years) with septic shock admitted to the ICUs during a 29-month period were included. The shock index (SI), diastolic shock index (DSI), modified shock index (MSI), and age shock index (Age-SI) were calculated at sepsis recognition (time zero) and ICU admission. Left ventricular (LV) function was categorized as either normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF ≥ 50%) or decreased LVEF (<50%).

Results

Among the 1,194 patients with septic shock, 392 (32.8%) who underwent echocardiography wit
