Etiology of Shock in the Emergency Department: A 12-Year Population-Based Cohort Study

Conclusion: HS and SS are frequent etiological characteristics followed by NS and CS, whereas OS is a rare condition. We confirm the increasing trend of SS, as previously reported. Seven-day mortality ranged from 12.7% to 34.6%, while 90-day mortality ranged from 22.6% to 56.2%. The underlying etiology was an independent predictor of mortality.
