Multinational trends in sepsis mortality between 1985 and 2019: a temporal analysis of the WHO Mortality Database.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Understanding the burden of disease of sepsis is essential for monitoring the effectiveness of international strategies to improve sepsis care. Our objective was to describe the multinational trend of sepsis-related mortality for the period 1985-2019 from the WHO Mortality Database.

Design

Retrospective analysis of the WHO Mortality Database.

Setting

We included data from all countries defined by the WHO as having 'high usability data' and at least 10 years of total available data.

Participants

From the WHO list of 50 countries with high usability data, 14 (28%) were excluded due to excessive missingness. We included and analysed data separately for male and female.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

We analysed age-standardised mortality
