Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this paper is to learn more about the incidence of sepsis and septic shock at the general intensive care unit as well as looking into mortality, pathogen origin, age, gender and length of stay of the patients with sepsis and furthermore compare the results with the patient group who do not have sepsis. Materials and methods: The study is a retrospective study looking into patient records during the period between 2015 to the first quarter of 2018. Information about age, gender, length of stay and mortality was taken from all patients records during this period as well as blood cultures and whether the patients with sepsis also had septic shock. The statistical analyses were made using Medcalc. Results: Mortality was 52% in patients with sepsis, 43% of patients with sepsis had multiple microorganismal infection shown on blood culture. There was no significant difference between age and gender distribution in the patient group with sepsis and the patient group without. The most frequent bacteria seen in the blood cultures were coagulase negative staphylococcal species and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, of all the patients with sepsis 63% also had septic shock. Conclusion: Mortality was significantly increased in patients with sepsis compared to those who did not suffer from sepsis. The length of stay was significantly longer in patients with sepsis and patients stayed approximately a week longer in the intensive care unit when suffering from sepsis. The difference in age distribution and gender distribution was not significantly different in the patient group with sepsis compared to those patients who did not suffer from sepsis.
Abstract (croatian)
Ciljevi: Cilj ovog istraživanja su nova saznanja o incidenciji sepse i septičkog šoka u jedinici intenzivne njege, te usporedba mortaliteta, patologije, dobi, spola i duljine boravka kod pacijenata koji su imali sepsu i onih koji je nisu imali. Materijali i metode: Obuhvaća retrospektivni studij u kojoj su korišteni podaci pacijenata u periodu između 2015. do prve četvrtine 2018. godine. Korištene su informacije o dobi, spolu, dužini boravka, mortalitetu, nalazi hemokulture, te podatak koliko je pacijenata oboljelih od sepse imalo septički šok. Za statističku analizu korišten je Medcalc. Rezultati: Mortalitet pacijenata sa sepsom je 52%, kod njih 43% hemokulturom su izolirani multipli patogeni. Dokazano je da ne postoji značajna razlika između dobi i spola pacijenata koji su imali sepsu i oni koji je nisu imali. Najučestalija bakterija izolirana u hemokulturi je koagulaza negativni stafilokok i meticilin rezistentni Staphylococcus epidermidis, 63% pacijenata oboljelo od sepse je imalo septički šok. Zaključci: Mortalitet je značajno veći kod pacijenata oboljelih od sepse u usporedbi sa onima koji nisu oboljeli od iste. Duljina boravka je značajno duža kod pacijenata koji su imali sepsu, tjedan dana duže su boravili u jedinici intenzivne njege. Razlike u godinama i spolu nisu bile značajne medju pacijentima sa sepsom i onima koji je nisu imali.
