Patient characteristics
55 patients with sepsis were recruited in this study. The basic
demographics and clinical characteristics of these patients are
described in supplementary Table 1. The 28-day mortality was 34.5% in
the patients with sepsis (n=19). The identified pathogens related to the
patients with sepsis are described in supplementary Table 2.
Nonsurvivors had significantly greater APCHEII and SOFA scores on ICU
admission than survivors. The concentrations of lactate, PCT, and CRP
were also significantly higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors
(Supplementary Table 3).
