Characterization of Mortality by Sepsis Source in Patients Admitted to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit.

Introduction: The impact of infectious source on sepsis outcomes for surgical patients is unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between sepsis sources and cumulative 90-d mortality in patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) with sepsis.

Methods: All patients admitted to the SICU at an academic institution who met sepsis criteria (2014-2019, n = 1296) were retrospectively reviewed.

Outcomes of Patients with Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections: A Propensity-Matched Analysis Using the National Inpatient Sample.

Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are severe, rapidly spreading infections with high morbidity and mortality. Attempts to identify risk factors for mortality and morbidity have produced variable results. We hope to determine which factors across the NSTI population impact mortality, morbidities, and discharge disposition.

Transfer Status and 90-Day Mortality in Intensive Care Unit Patients With Sepsis: A Propensity Matched Analysis.

Background: Timely identification and management of sepsis in surgical patients is crucial, and transfer status may delay optimal treatment of these patients. The objective of this study was to compare in-house and 90-day mortality between patients primarily admitted or transferred into the surgical ICU (SICU) at a tertiary referral center.

Material And Methods: All patients admitted to the SICU with a diagnosis of sepsis (Sepsis III) were reviewed at a single institution between 2014 to 2019 (n = 1489).
