Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to know if hospital data on sepsis (a serious infection) was correct enough to help make decisions about healthcare.
- They checked records from 10,334 patients in 10 hospitals in Germany to see if the doctors correctly mentioned sepsis in their notes.
- They found that sometimes sepsis was missed or not written down, which means earlier reports of how many people had sepsis were too low, and hospitals varied a lot in how well they identified it.
