Background: Hospital- and community-onset sepsis are significant sepsis subgroups. Japanese data comparing these subgroups are limited. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of hospital- and community-onset sepsis in critical care units in Japan.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Japanese Diagnosis and Procedure Combination database. Adult patients admitted to critical care units with sepsis from April 2010 to March 2020 were included. Sepsis cases were identified based on ICD-10 codes for infectious diseases, procedure codes for blood culture tests, and medication codes for antimicrobials. Patients' characteristics, in-hospital mortality, and resource utilization were assessed. The in-hospital mortality between groups was compared using the Poisson regression generalized linear mixed-effect model.
Results: Of 516,124 patients, 52,183 (10.1%) had hospital-onset sepsis and 463,940 (89.9%) had community-onset sepsis. Hospital-onset sepsis was characterized by younger age, infrequent emergency hospitalization, frequent surgery under general anesthesia, and frequent organ support upon critical care unit admission compared to community-onset sepsis. In-hospital mortality was higher for hospital-onset than for community-onset sepsis (35.5% versus 19.2%; unadjusted mean difference, 16.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) 15.9-16.7]; adjusted mean difference, 15.6% [95% CI 14.9-16.2]). Mean hospital length of stay was longer for hospital-onset than for community-onset sepsis (47 days versus 30 days; unadjusted mean difference, 17 days [95% CI 16-17]; adjusted mean difference, 13 days [95% CI 12-14]).
Conclusion: Patients with hospital-onset sepsis admitted to critical care units in Japan had a poorer prognosis and more resource utilization including organ support rate, number of days with critical care unit surcharge codes, and hospital length of stay than those with community-onset sepsis.

From 1 January to 31 December 2023, fifty-seven institutions across Australia participated in the Australian Surveillance Outcome Program (ASSOP). The aim of ASSOP 2023 was to determine the proportion of bacteraemia (SAB) isolates in Australia that were antimicrobial resistant, with particular emphasis on methicillin resistance, and to characterise the methicillin-resistant (MRSA) molecular epidemiology. A total of 3,422 SAB episodes were reported, of which 77.

Background: Although Providencia species are recognised as important causes of bloodstream infections (BSI), their epidemiology is not well defined due to their infrequent occurrence. Our objective was to determine the overall incidence, determinants, and outcomes of Providencia species BSI, and compare the epidemiology of P. stuartii and P.

Importance: The results of prediction models that stratify patients with sepsis and risk of resistant gram-negative bacilli (GNB) infections inform treatment guidelines. However, these models do not extrapolate well across hospitals.
Objective: To assess whether patient case mix and local prevalence rates of resistance contributed to the variable performance of a general risk stratification GNB sepsis model for community-onset and hospital-onset sepsis across hospitals.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the roles of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in inflammation during sepsis, focusing on their dynamics in patients with bacterial infections.
- Blood samples were taken from 83 patients with confirmed infections to analyze various DAMPs and a previously studied PAMP (16S rDNA) to assess their potential as diagnostic and prognostic markers.
- Findings show that nuclear DNA (nDNA) is a strong predictor for both sepsis and poor outcomes, with significant correlations established between high levels of nDNA and 16S rDNA during the early days of hospitalization.
