Sex Differences in Risk Factors for Incident Sepsis Hospitalizations: A Prospective Cohort Study Using the UK Biobank
The risk of sepsis hospitalization was higher in the presence of most risk factors, with greater effects in women with a history of COPD, dyslipidemia, myocardial infarction, and smoking. Incorporating sex-specific risk factors in risk prediction modeling may facilitate targeted prevention efforts and support earlier recognition and treatment.
