The causes and pattern of short and long term mortality stratified on sepsis in the Swedish ICU-cohort

Conditions

None listed

Brief summary

The risk of death in patients treated for sepsis the Intensive care unit (ICU) is high. The increased risk of death is persistent over years, however little is known about their long term risk of death when compared to patients treated for other causes in the ICU. Also little is known about the pattern on the causes of Death in ICU treated patients with and without sepsis. Our hypothesis is that the long term causes of Death are different for individuals treated for sepsis in the ICU compared to individuals treated for other reasons in the ICU. This will be investigated in the Swedish ICU cohort during the years 2005 to 2016.

Interventions

This is an observational registry study. Virtually all patients recieving care in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Sweden are reported to the Swedish ICU-registry (SIR) with base-line data, performed interventions and ICU relevant diagnoses, but this does not affect their care in any way. The exposure is ICU care with sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock in the SIR during the years 2005 to 2016. All patients are followed from inclusion to 31st of december 2016 or Death, wichever comes first. Th

The exposure is ICU care with sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock in the SIR during the years 2005 to 2016. All patients are followed from inclusion to 31st of december 2016 or Death, wichever comes first. This means: No participant involvement. The paticipant is observed from ICU-admission until 31-dec-2016, death or recieving a diagosis of Dementia.
