Objective: To report the prevalence and outcomes of sepsis in children admitted to public and private hospitals.
Methods: Post hoc analysis of the Latin American Pediatric Sepsis Study (LAPSES) data, a cohort study that analyzed the prevalence and outcomes of sepsis in critically ill children with sepsis on admission at 21 pediatric intensive care units in five Latin American countries.
Results: Of the 464 sepsis patients, 369 (79.
Objectives: To report the prevalence of sepsis within the first 24 hours at admission and the PICU sepsis-related mortality among critically ill children admitted to PICU in South America.
Design: A prospective multicenter cohort study.
Setting: Twenty-one PICU, located in five South America countries.
Objectives: The primary outcome was to compare the effects of dopamine or epinephrine in severe sepsis on 28-day mortality; secondary outcomes were the rate of healthcare-associated infection, the need for other vasoactive drugs, and the multiple organ dysfunction score.
Design: Double-blind, prospective, randomized controlled trial from February 1, 2009, to July 31, 2013.
Setting: PICU, Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil.

- The study aimed to determine the prevalence of uropathogens in community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) among different age groups and genders.
- A total of 2577 urine cultures were analyzed, revealing a UTI prevalence of 11.3%, with E. coli being the most common pathogen (76.6%), particularly affecting females around the median age of 2.6 years.
- Notable findings included lower E. coli prevalence in infants under 3 months and higher rates of Staphylococcus saprophyticus in patients over 10 years, as well as increased Proteus mirabilis prevalence in boys compared to girls.
