Conditions

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, leading to organ dysfunction. Globally, it affects approximately 48.9 million people annually, accounting for 20% of all deaths. In Thailand, sepsis remains a critical public health issue with an estimated 175,000 cases and a mortality rate of 25-35%, which can exceed 50% in cases of septic shock. While traditional scoring systems like SOFA and APACHE II are used to assess severity, they often rel

Interventions

The high-HRV group was defined based on the correlation study between various Heart Rate Variability (HRV) parameters and mortality rates. ROC curve analysis and the Youden Index were employed to iden
