Introduction: Sepsis is a serious condition that may lead to death or profoundly affect the well-being of those who survive. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and summarize evidence on the impact of all-cause sepsis on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical, cognitive, and psychological outcomes among sepsis survivors in the USA.
Methods: Studies assessing HRQoL, physical, cognitive, and psychological outcomes in patients who survived an episode of sepsis and published from January 1, 2010, to September 30, 2023, were systematically identified through EMBASE, MEDLINE, and MEDLINE In-Process databases, as well as through gray literature.

Purpose: Mortality and morbidity of patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) remain high despite advances in diagnostic methods and efforts to speed up reporting. This study investigated the impact of reporting rapid Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)-results in Gram negative BSIs with the ASTar system (Q-linea, Uppsala, Sweden) on the adaptation of empirically started antimicrobial therapy. We performed a real-world study during which antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results were instantly reported to the treating physician in an established multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship setting.
