Abstract

Background: Incidence of sepsis is 270 cases per-100,000 person-years and responsible for 26.0% death.

Aim of study to evaluate etiological factors responsible for sepsis and outcomes in terms of organ dysfunction, metabolic dysfunction and patient’s recovery and hospital stay.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study carried out over a period of one year in Department of Medicine in collaboration with Intensive care unit. Total 150 cases were enrolled in the study suffering from sepsis as per consensus guidelines.

Results: Pneumonia was the most common cause of sepsis (66.0%). Most common co-morbidities associated with sepsis were hypertension in 4.67% followed by COPD 4%. 40% patients expired during study period. 25.33% patients of sepsis suffered from Acute kidney injury.

Conclusion: Outcome of the patients in terms of hospital stay and mortality was high in septicemic patients.
