Predictors of mortality in adult sepsis

Original Article Sepsis SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome), Bacteraemia Polymicrobial bacteraemia. Aims: The aim of this study was to identify clinical, laboratory and microbiologic features that may be predictive of mortality in sepsis and help achieve an early stratification to identify those at high risk of death in adult patients. Methods: A total of 298 adult patients with clin...
