Article Synopsis
- Postsepsis syndrome significantly increases long-term mortality, prompting a study to identify predictors of death within a year after patients were discharged from a surgical ICU due to sepsis.
- A review of patients showed that factors such as age, metastatic cancer, chronic kidney disease, length of hospital stay, and dependent discharge were linked to higher mortality rates among those who died within a year.
- Key findings highlighted that increased age, prolonged hospital stays (especially over 32 days), and certain health conditions like metastatic cancer and chronic kidney disease were strong predictors of postdischarge mortality in septic patients.
