Abstract:
:Sepsis and its complications are severe clinical syndrome that is caused by systemic inflammatory response of the host to infection. Despite the use of common and numerous new therapeutic protocols, mortality from this severe disease is still very high. In the study are presented 155 patients (111 males, 44 females) of average age 49.6 years with mean septic score 12.9 (2-40). Mortality in our patients was 20.6%, septic shock developed in 31.6%, ARF in 20.0%, DIC in 12.9%, and MODS in 25.8% of patients. Positive correlation existed between initial sepsis score and mortality. Older age and the presence of primary diseases (34.2% of patients) were associated with significantly higher septic score and were good prognostic factor for the poor outcome of sepsis. Between mean arterial pressure in the first 24 h after the admission and mortality existed negative correlation (p < 0.05). Positive hemocultures were found in 69.7%, and bacterial infection in 78.7% of patients. GP bacteremia was found in 55.6% of patients and GN in 45.4% of all positive hemocultures. Confirmed bacteremia and bacteremia caused by GPB were associated with the higher mortality rate compared to the patients with negative hemocultures and GN bacteremia (p < 0.05). Concentrations of fibrinogen and urea in the blood at the admission in the patients with sepsis were very good prognostic factors of the disease outcome, and leukopenia, leukocytosis and neutropenia were associated with the increased mortality. Negative correlation existed between fibrinogen concentration and mortality (p < 0.001), while positive correlation (p < 0.001) existed between urea concentration and mortality. In the absence of more efficacious therapeutic protocols, fast recognition of the sepsis, evaluation of its severity, knowledge of the risk factors for its poor outcome and aggressive use of antibiotic and existing supportive therapy can significantly decrease high mortality of this too severe clinical syndrome.
