Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the epidemiology and treatment of infections in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED), finding that nearly 19.3% of 6,607 patients treated had an infection.
- Key sites of infection included the respiratory tract (35%) and genitourinary tract (18%), with most cases classified as infection only (86%), while sepsis (10%) and septic shock (3%) were less common.
- Significant differences were observed in vital signs and emergency sepsis scores between the groups of patients with infection, sepsis, and septic shock, indicating varying levels of severity among them.
