Abstract
BACKGROUND

Emergency sepsis is a common and serious infectious disease, and its prognosis is influenced by a number of factors.

AIM

To analyse the factors influencing the prognosis of patients with emergency sepsis in order to provide a basis for individualised patient treatment and care. By retrospectively analysing the clinical data collected, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of factors such as age, gender, underlying disease, etiology and site of infection, inflammatory indicators, multi-organ failure, cardiovascular function, therapeutic measures, immune status and severity of infection.

METHODS

Data collection: Clinical data were collected from patients diagnosed with acute sepsis, including basic information, laboratory findings, medical history and treatment options. Variable selection: Variables associated with prognosis were selected, including age, gender, underlying disease, etiology and site of infection, inflammatory indicators, multi-organ failure, cardiovascular function, treatment measures, immune status and severity of infection. Data analysis: The data collected are analysed using appropriate statistical methods such as multiple regression analysis and survival analysis. The impact of each factor on prognosis was assessed according to prognostic indicators, such as survival, length of stay and complication rates.

RESULTS

Descriptive statistics: Descriptive statistics were performed on the data collected from the patients, including their basic characteristics and clinical presentation.

CONCLUSION

Type 2 diabetes mellitus were independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with sepsis.

Keywords: Platelet count; Length of ICU stay; Mechanical ventilation; Abdominal infection; Combined coronary artery disease

Core Tip: Age, gender, underlying disease, etiology and site of infection, inflammatory indicators, multi-organ failure, cardiovascular function, therapeutic measures, immune status, and severity of infection are important factors influencing the prognosis of emergency sepsis patients.
