Differences in length of stay between sepsis survivors and nonsurvivors were related to severity of illness. Thus, the potential economic effect of a new therapy for sepsis would depend, in part, on which particular patients, in terms of severity of illness, were enrolled. New therapies targeted to decrease mortality rate in patients with severe sepsis can potentially lead to the overall cost of care being neutral or increased depending on the severity levels of patients included in clinical trials.
