Temporal trend and survival impact of infection source among patients with sepsis: a nationwide study.

CONCLUSION: The temporal trends of sepsis incidence and mortality varied among different sources of sepsis, with lower respiratory tract being the highest burden among patients with sepsis. Furthermore, sources of sepsis and the presence of co-infection are independent predictors of mortality. Our results support source-specific preventive and treatment strategies for future sepsis management. PMID: 32389104 [PubMed - in process]
