Multicenter Study Observational StudyEpidemiology and outcome of sepsis syndromes in Italian ICUs:A multicentre, observational cohort study in the region of Piedmont.
Sepsis is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in the intensive care unit (ICU). We performed a study to describe the epidemiology of sepsis syndromes in patients admitted to ICUs of the Piedmont region. ⋯ Sepsis is a common occurrence in critically ill patients. Our data underscore the regional variability in the epidemiology and outcome of sepsis syndromes and may be useful to guide appropriate resource allocation.
