Cardiovascular Events and Hospital Deaths Among Patients With Severe Sepsis.

ABSTRACT: The burden of cardiovascular events among patients hospitalized with severe sepsis and the association of these events with in-hospital mortality is not well known. We examined the incidence of cardiovascular events and their association with in-hospital mortality among patients with severe sepsis. Patients with severe sepsis from the New York State Inpatient Database from 2012 through 2014 were identified using a validated International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision, Clinical Modification code 995.92. The primary outcome was the incidence of cardiovascular events during the hospitalizations, defined as a composite of ischemic, acute heart failure, or arrhythmic events and the secondary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to compa
