[Cost differences in the treatment of severe sepsis between survivors and non-survivors on the first day of intensive care admission].
Patients admitted to intensive care unit with severe sepsis have high mortality and use significant resources. ⋯ The mortality of severe sepsis is high and the cost of sepsis treatment is low in Hungary compared to international data. Non-survivors cost almost twice as much even on day 1, this warrants the need for early diagnosis and adequate treatment.
