Padro T, et al. - Researchers used logistic regression in this retrospective study to determine the factors that could independently predict in-hospital mortality resulting from healthcare associated (HA)-sepsis. They analyzed 3,917 sepsis cases, including 3,186 community-acquired (CA) and 731 HA. They found that HA-sepsis patients vs CA-patients needed more mechanical ventilation, had a greater rate of vasopressor use, and had longer lengths of stay (LOS) in the ICU. According to the findings, in-hospital mortality in HA-sepsis was independently predicted by liver disease and congestive heart failure (CHF). They found a higher prevalence of previous stroke, myocardial infarction, and liver disease among HA-sepsis patients.
