Multinational trends in sepsis mortality between 1985 and 2019: a temporal analysis of the WHO Mortality Database
We observed a decrease in reported sepsis-related mortality across the majority of analysed nations between 1985 and 2019. However, significant variability remains between gender and health systems. System-level and population-level factors may contribute to these differences, and additional investigations are necessary to further explain these trends.
