Introduction

Sepsis is a serious condition that may lead to death or profoundly affect the well-being of those who survive.

Methods

Studies assessing HRQoL, physical, cognitive, and psychological outcomes in patients who survived an episode of sepsis and published from January 1, 2010, to September 30, 2023, were systematically identified through EMBASE, MEDLINE, and MEDLINE In-Process databases, as well as through gray literature.

Results

Of 2885 records identified, 7 studies (7 publications; N = 180,592 participants) met the eligibility
