Three-year mortality of ICU survivors with sepsis, an infection or an inflammatory illness: an individually matched cohort study of ICU patients in the Netherlands from 2007 to 2019
Both sepsis and non-sepsis infection patients had a significantly increased hazard rate of death in the 3 years after hospital discharge compared with patients with an inflammatory illness. Among sepsis and infection patients, one third died in the next 3 years, approximately 10% more than patients with an inflammatory illness. The fact that we did not find a difference between patients with sepsis or an infection suggests that the necessity for an ICU admission with an infection increases the risk of long-term mortality. This result emphasizes the need for greater attention to the post-ICU management of sepsis, infection, and severe inflammatory illness survivors.
