Analysis of the prevalence and risk factors of post-intensive-care syndrome and post-sepsis syndrome in survivors of sepsis
) levels, and specific infection sites were identified as independent predictors. Sepsis survivors' quality of life improves over the three months following discharge; however, PICS and PSS maintain a high prevalence, with a notable symptom overlap between the two syndromes. Clinicians must be mindful of specific in-hospital risk factors to tailor post-discharge care.ConclusionThis study highlights the profound and persistent risks for ICU sepsis survivors. The results indicate that early multidisciplinary intervention is necessary, which may potentially reduce long-term sequelae and improve recovery trajectories.
