Purpose: Healthcare associated (HA) sepsis is associated with increased resource utilization and mortality compared with community acquired (CA) sepsis. The purpose of this study was to identify independent predictors of in-hospital mortality from HA-sepsis.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of adult patients admitted with HA or CA-sepsis. Predictors were identified using logistic regression.
Results: There were 3917 sepsis encounters, of which 3186 were CA and 731 were HA. History of stroke (83/731, 11%) and myocardial infarction (70/731, 10%) were higher in HA than CA-sepsis (stroke: 258/3186, 8%, p = .005; myocardial infarction: 213/3186, 7%, p = .007). HA-sepsis patients required more mechanical ventilation (153/731, 21%) than CA-patients (218/3186, 7%, p < .001) and had a higher rate of vasopressor use (334/731, 46%) than CA patients (832/3186, 26%, p < .001). The HA group had longer ICU lengths of stay (LOS) than CA patients did at 9 days and 2.8 days, respectively (p < .0001). Moderate to severe liver disease (OR = 27, 95%CI 1.4, 513, p = .031) and congestive heart failure (CHF, 5.81, 95% CI 1.3, 26, p = .025) were predictive of in-hospital mortality from HA-sepsis.
Conclusions: Liver disease and CHF were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality in HA-sepsis. HA-sepsis patients had increased prevalence of previous stroke, myocardial infarction, and liver disease.

Background: Sepsis is a common cause of hospitalization among Medicare beneficiaries, often leading to prolonged hospital stays and high costs.
Purpose: To estimate the impact of registered nurse (RN) staffing and skill mix on hospital lengths of stay and associated costs for Medicare beneficiaries with sepsis.
Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was conducted using 2018 data from 2,107 acute care hospitals, including 653,496 patients with sepsis.

Purpose: This study intends to investigate the relationship between FENDRR and miR-424-5p and their clinical significance in sepsis, aiming to provide new diagnostic markers and prognostic markers for sepsis.
Methods: 136 patients with sepsis and 132 healthy volunteers were included as study subjects. The expression levels of FENDRR and miR-424-5p were detected by qPCR.

Division of Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Purpose: Evidence to guide the application of damage control laparotomy (DCL) in emergency surgery patients is limited. We assessed whether DCL use for emergent small bowel or colon surgery increased over time and its impact on outcomes. We hypothesized that DCL would be utilized more often in patients with significant comorbidities or septic shock with improved outcomes.
