Inpatient Care for Septicemia or Sepsis: A Challenge for Patients and Hospitals
Septicemia and sepsis are serious bloodstream infections that can rapidly
become life-threatening. They arise from various infections, including those of
the skin, lungs, abdomen, and urinary tract (1,2). Patients with these conditions
are often treated in a hospital’s intensive care unit (3). Early aggressive
treatment increases the chance of survival (4). In 2008, an estimated $14.6
billion was spent on hospitalizations for septicemia, and from 1997 through
2008, the inflation-adjusted aggregate costs for treating patients hospitalized
for this condition increased on average annually by 11.9% (5).
Despite high treatment expenditures, septicemia and sepsis are often fatal (6).
Those who survive severe sepsis are more likely to have permanent organ
damage (7), cognitive impairment, and physical disability (8). Septicemia is a
leading cause of death (9). The purpose of this report is to describe the most
recent trends in care for hospital inpatients with these diagnoses.
