Construction and validation of a prediction model for short-term mortality risk in elderly patients with sepsis: a retrospective study | BMC Infectious Diseases

by

The targeted population of this study was patients with sepsis aged ≥ 65 years. The patients were divided into the survival group and the death group based on their short-term (< 30 days) outcomes at discharge. Patients in the death group exhibited lower levels of ALB, PCT, WBC, NEUT count, high-sensitivity CRP, ALT, and vitamin C positivity rates compared to the survival group. Additionally, there was a higher usage rate of central venous catheterization, arterial catheterization, tracheal intubation, non-invasive assisted ventilation, continuous blood purification, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, blood product transfusion, vasopressors, and antiarrhythmic drugs in the death group in comparison with the survival group, while the usage rate of ALB was lower. Invasive procedures, including central venous…
