Risk factors of sepsis have been identified in several points such as chronic health conditions, comorbid diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, HIV, and CKD), old age, male, alcohol users, immunosuppression conditions due to malignancy or use of certain drugs, obesity, length of treatment in hospital, and chemotherapy. This article aims to find out the incidence of sepsis and its risk factors in hospitals, globally in various fields. This study uses literature on the Scopus database from 2011 and Scopus Analyzing Tools. VOS Viewer (version 1.6.17) is used for bibliometrics analysis. Based on visualization results, a total of 430 articles were extracted. Most research was carried out in 2017, with 63 studies. The United States published more articles, amounting to 100 studies. The fields or areas that have been researched related to the incidence of sepsis and its factors the most are medicine. The latest keyword such as length of stay, antibiotic agent, and treatment appeared in 2016. The research trend was determined to have greatly increased in 2017 before declining once more in 2018. This research should be updated in the future to get the latest knowledge on sepsis risk factors in hospitals.
