12 Οκτ 2018 · Overall mortality (51%) in patients with pneumonia complicated by septic shock is high. Increased time to administration of antimicrobial therapy, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II Score, serum lactate, and age were associated with increased in-hospital mortality.
6 Δεκ 2021 · Severe pneumonia is associated with high mortality (short and long term), as well as pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications. Appropriate diagnosis and early initiation of adequate antimicrobial treatment for severe pneumonia are crucial in improving survival among critically ill patients.
prognosis and outcomes of severe sepsis in older patients There are high mortality rates of around 50%-60% in elderly patients with severe sepsis and septic shock[ 4 , 9 , 73 ]. The mortality due to severe sepsis in elderly patients is 1.3-1.5 times higher than that in younger cohorts[ 4 , 9 ].
Table 1— Blood culture flora of patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. These data indicate that pneumonia is being over-diagnosed as a cause for the systemic inflammatory response syndrome observed in severely septic patients.
5 Ιαν 2024 · Left untreated, the infection can be deadly. In the days before antibiotics, it’s estimated that about one-third of those who developed bacterial pneumonia died. Sepsis and septic shock can result from an infection anywhere in the body, including pneumonia.
