Epidemiology and outcomes of septic shock in Japan: a nationwide retrospective cohort study from a medical claims database by the Japan Sepsis Alliance (JaSA) study group
Despite improvements in survival and LOS over the past decade, septic shock remains a highly lethal and resource-intensive condition in Japan, with in-hospital mortality rates exceeding 30%. Mortality was particularly high among older patients, with rates consistently exceeding 40% among those aged ≥ 85 years.
