Risk Factors at Index Hospitalization Associated With Longer-term Mortality in Adult Sepsis Survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Sepsis survivors, defined as adult patients who survived to hospital discharge following a critical care unit admission for sepsis, are at increased risk of long-term mortality. Identifying factors independently associated with long-term mortality, known during critical care admission for sepsis, could inform targeted strategies to reduce this risk.

Objective

To assess, in adult sepsis survivors, factors independently associated with long-term mortality, known during their index critical care admission for sepsis, meeting Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock criteria.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study included a nationally representative sample of 94 748 adult sepsis survivors from 192 critical care units i
