Association of medical care capacity and the patient mortality of septic shock: a cross-sectional study.

We conducted this study to investigate whether this phenomenon was only caused by the increase in the number of admissions or the need to improve the medical care capacity in septic shock at the same time.

Methods: Seven-hundred and eighty-seven hospitals from China collected in a survey from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
