Construction and validation of a prediction model for short-term mortality risk in elderly patients with sepsis: a retrospective study
Increased age, use of antiarrhythmic drugs and vasopressors are independent risk factors for mortality in elderly patients with sepsis, whereas high albumin levels are protective factors. The developed nomogram provides an effective tool for predicting short-term mortality in this patient population.
