“…Despite treatment, the mortality of these patients remains extremely high, ranging from 40% to 50% (2) . Its increasing prevalence and the emergence of new etiologies are related to changes in the demographic characteristics of the population and to the increasingly frequent use of immunosuppressive therapy and invasive procedures (3)(4) .…”

“…In Brazil, approximately 25% of the patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) had severe sepsis, with mortality rates ranging from 35% to 65% (4) .…”
After discharge from ICU, sepsis survivors of sepsis had a higher mortality rate than critically ill patients without sepsis. Older patients with sepsis had more moderate and severe problems in all five quality of life dimensions evaluated.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
