Sepsis Presentation, Interventions, and Outcome Differences Among Men and Women in the Emergency Department

Females demonstrated 10% lower odds of mortality from sepsis at 30 days, 90 days, and one year (absolute difference: 0.9%, 1.6%, 1.8%, respectively). Females were less likely to receive vasopressors, vancomycin, or piperacillin-tazobactam, even after accounting for urinary tract infection as the sepsis source.
