Population-Based Analysis of Incidence and Mortality of Septic Shock

"A descriptive analysis of the baseline demographics, risk factors, health status, comorbidities, frailty, and previous dependence on health services of all patients admitted with septic shock to hospitals in the region will be carried out.~The overall data of patients admitted to hospitals will be analysed. The survival data of patients will be compared with their previous individual drug consumption and inhospital survival to septic shock. In addition, drug dependence and dependence on health services of survivors will be studied in comparison with their situation prior to sepsis.~The objective is to establish the Registry of Administrative Data Automatically Recorded for Septic Shock (RADAR-Septic Shock), leveraging administrative data to characterize septic shock incidence, describe patient profiles, identify population-specific healthcare needs, and provide benchmark values for performance assessment in Catalonia's public health system."
