Septicemia and sepsis are serious bloodstream infections that can rapidly become life-threatening. They arise from various infections, including those of the skin, lungs, abdomen, and urinary tract. Patients with these conditions are often treated in a hospital’s intensive care unit. Early aggressive treatment increases the chance of survival. In 2008, an estimated $14.6 billion was spent on hospitalizations for septicemia, and from 1997 through 2008, the inflation-adjusted aggregate costs for treating patients hospitalized for this condition increased on average annually by 11.9%. Despite high treatment expenditures, septicemia and sepsis are often fatal. Those who survive severe sepsis are more likely to have permanent organ damage, cognitive impairment, and physical disability. Septicemia is a leading cause of death. The purpose of this report is to describe the most recent trends in care for hospital inpatients with these diagnoses.
败血症和脓毒症是严重的血液感染，可迅速危及生命。它们源于各种感染，包括皮肤、肺部、腹部和泌尿系统的感染。患有这些病症的患者通常在医院的重症监护病房接受治疗。早期积极治疗可增加存活几率。2008年，败血症住院治疗的花费估计为146亿美元，从1997年到2008年，经通胀调整后，治疗因该病症住院患者的总费用平均每年增长11.9%。尽管治疗费用高昂，但败血症和脓毒症往往是致命的。严重脓毒症幸存者更有可能出现永久性器官损伤、认知障碍和身体残疾。败血症是主要死因之一。本报告的目的是描述这些诊断的医院住院患者护理的最新趋势。
