BD Winters, M Eberlein, J Leung… - Critical care …, 2010 - journals.lww.com
Background: Long-term outcomes from sepsis are poorly un-derstood, and sepsis in patients
may have different long-term effects on mortality and quality of life. Long-term outcome
studies of other critical illnesses such as acute lung injury have demonstrated incremental
health effects that persist after hospital discharge. Whether patients with sepsis have similar
long-term mortality and quality-of-life effects is unclear. Objective: We performed a
systematic review of studies re-porting long-term mortality and quality-of-life data (> 3 …
