Predictors of sepsis, intensive care unit admission, and death in patients hospitalized for complicated skin and soft tissue infections: Retrospective study at a large tertiary-care center
Low mean arterial pressure, vasopressor use, and pre-existing kidney disease are key predictors of in-hospital death in patients hospitalized for complicated skin and soft tissue infection. The former two, and the patient's Glasgow Coma Scale, also appear to predict both intensive care unit admission and sepsis.
