    Abstract: Frailty is an important risk factor for adverse health-related outcomes. It is classified into several phenotypes according to nutritional state and physical activity. In this context, we investigated whether frailty phenotypes were related to clinical outcome of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). During the study period, a total of 526 patients were screened for HAP and 480 of whom were analyzed. The patients were divided into four groups according to physical inactivity and malnutrition: nutritional frailty (Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index [GNRI]  〈  82 and Clinical Frailty Scale [CFS] ≥ 4), malnutrition (GNRI  〈  82 and CFS  〈  4), physical frailty (GNRI ≥ 82 and CFS ≥ 4), and normal (GNRI ≥ 82 and CFS  〈  4). Among the phenotypes, physical frailty without malnutrition was the most common (39.4%), followed by nutritional frailty (30.2%), normal (20.6%), and malnutrition (9.8%). There was a significant difference in hospital survival and home discharge among the four phenotypes (p = 0.009), and the nutritional frailty group had the poorest in-hospital survival and home discharge (64.8% and 34.6%, respectively). In conclusion, there were differences in clinical outcomes according to the four phenotypes of HAP. Assessment of frailty phenotypes during hospitalization may improve outcomes through adequate nutrition and rehabilitation treatment of patients with HAP.

    Abstract: Timely administration of antibiotics is one of the most important interventions in reducing mortality in sepsis. However, administering antibiotics within a strict time threshold in all patients suspected with sepsis will require huge amount of effort and resources and may increase the risk of unintentional exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics in patients without infection with its consequences. Thus, controversy still exists on whether clinicians should target different time-to-antibiotics thresholds for patients with sepsis versus septic shock. Methods This study analyzed prospectively collected data from an ongoing multicenter cohort of patients with sepsis identified in the emergency department. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were compared for in-hospital mortality of patients who had received antibiotics within 1 h to that of those who did not. Spline regression models were used to assess the association of time-to-antibiotics as continuous variables and increasing risk of in-hospital mortality. The differences in the association between time-to-antibiotics and in-hospital mortality were assessed according to the presence of septic shock. Results Overall, 3035 patients were included in the analysis. Among them, 601 (19.8%) presented with septic shock, and 774 (25.5%) died. The adjusted OR for in-hospital mortality of patients whose time-to-antibiotics was within 1 h was 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.61–0.99; p  = 0.046). The adjusted OR for in-hospital mortality was 0.66 (95% CI 0.44–0.99; p  = 0.049) and statistically significant in patients with septic shock, whereas it was 0.85 (95% CI 0.64–1.15; p  = 0.300) in patients with sepsis but without shock. Among patients who received antibiotics within 3 h, those with septic shock showed 35% ( p  = 0.042) increased risk of mortality for every 1-h delay in antibiotics, but no such trend was observed in patients without shock. Conclusion Timely administration of antibiotics improved outcomes in patients with septic shock; however, the association between early antibiotic administration and outcome was not as clear in patients with sepsis without shock.

    Abstract: Based on sparse evidence, the current Surviving Sepsis Campaign guideline suggests that critically ill patients with sepsis be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) within 6 h. However, limited ICU bed availability often makes immediate transfer difficult, and it is unclear whether all patients will benefit from early admission to the ICU. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the association between the timing of ICU admission and mortality in patients with hospital-onset sepsis. Methods This nationwide prospective cohort study analyzed patients with hospital-onset sepsis admitted to the ICUs of 19 tertiary hospitals between September 2019 and December 2020. ICU admission was classified as either early (within 6 h) or delayed (beyond 6 h). The primary outcome of in-hospital mortality was compared using logistic regression adjusted for key prognostic factors in the unmatched and 1:1 propensity-score-matched cohorts. Subgroup and interaction analyses assessed whether in-hospital mortality varied according to baseline characteristics. Results A total of 470 and 286 patients were included in the early and delayed admission groups, respectively. Early admission to the ICU did not significantly result in lower in-hospital mortality in both the unmatched (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] , 0.99–1.85) and matched cohorts (aOR, 1.38; 95% CI, 0.94–2.02). Subgroup analyses showed that patients with increasing lactate levels (aOR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.37–3.23; P for interaction = 0.003), septic shock (aOR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.31–3.22; P for interaction = 0.019), and those who needed mechanical ventilation (aOR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.24–2.96; P for interaction = 0.027) or vasopressor support (aOR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.17–2.44; P for interaction = 0.042) on the day of ICU admission had a higher risk of mortality with delayed admission. Conclusions Among patients with hospital-onset sepsis, in-hospital mortality did not differ significantly between those with early and delayed ICU admission. However, as early intensive care may benefit those with increasing lactate levels, septic shock, and those who require vasopressors or ventilatory support, admission to the ICU within 6 h should be considered for these subsets of patients.

    Abstract: Sepsis is the most common cause of death in hospitals, and intra-abdominal infection (IAI) accounts for a large portion of the causes of sepsis. We investigated the clinical outcomes and factors influencing mortality of patients with sepsis due to IAI. Methods This post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort study included 2126 patients with sepsis who visited 16 tertiary care hospitals in Korea (September 2019–February 2020). The analysis included 219 patients aged  〉  19 years who were admitted to intensive care units owing to sepsis caused by IAI. Results The incidence of septic shock was 47% and was significantly higher in the non-survivor group (58.7% vs 42.3%, p  = 0.028). The overall 28-day mortality was 28.8%. In multivariable logistic regression, after adjusting for age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and lactic acid, only coagulation dysfunction (odds ratio: 2.78 [1.47–5.23], p  = 0.001) was independently associated, and after adjusting for each risk factor, only simplified acute physiology score III (SAPS 3) ( p   〈  0.001) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) ( p   〈  0.001) were independently associated with higher 28-day mortality. Conclusions The SAPS 3 score and acute kidney injury with CRRT were independently associated with increased 28-day mortality. Additional support may be needed in patients with coagulopathy than in those with other organ dysfunctions due to IAI because patients with coagulopathy had worse prognosis.

    Abstract: The optimal strategy for fluid management during the first few days of ICU in sepsis patients remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the impact of cumulative fluid balance during the first three days of ICU on the mortality of patients with sepsis. Methods This study analyzed prospectively collected data from the Korean Sepsis Alliance Database, which registered 11,981 sepsis patients from 20 hospitals. We selected three propensity score-matched cohorts consisting of patients with a negative or positive cumulative fluid balance during the first three ICU days: from ICU admission to the first midnight as the D1 cohort, until the second midnight as the D2 cohort, and until the third midnight as the D3 cohort. The propensity score for fluid balance was calculated using covariates including the amount of fluid output during the first three ICU days. The primary outcome was mortality at day 28 in the ICU. Results From a total of 11,981 patients, 2516 patients were included for propensity score matching. After matching in a 1:1 ratio, there were 483, 373, and 392 matched pairs of patients assigned to the D1, D2, and D3 cohorts, respectively. In the D1 cohort, there were no significant differences in mortality at day 28 (hazard ratio [HR], 1.17; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85–1.60; P  = 0.354) between the two groups. The positive fluid groups in both the D2 (HR, 2.13; 95% CI 1.48–3.06; P   〈  0.001) and D3 (HR, 1.56; 95% CI 1.10–2.22; P  = 0.012) cohorts had significantly higher mortality rates than the negative fluid groups. Conclusions In patients with sepsis, a positive fluid balance on the first ICU day was not associated with mortality at day 28. In contrast, cumulative positive fluid balances on the second and third ICU days were associated with higher mortality at day 28.

    Abstract: Hospital-onset sepsis is associated with a higher in-hospital mortality rate than community-onset sepsis. Many hospitals have implemented rapid response teams (RRTs) for early detection and timely management of at-risk hospitalized patients. However, the effectiveness of an all-day RRT over a non-all-day RRT in reducing the risk of in-hospital mortality in patient with hospital-onset sepsis is unclear. We aimed to determine the effect of the RRT’s operating hours on in-hospital mortality in inpatient patients with sepsis. Methods We conducted a nationwide cohort study of adult patients with hospital-onset sepsis prospectively collected from the Korean Sepsis Alliance (KSA) Database from 16 tertiary referral or university-affiliated hospitals in South Korea between September of 2019 and February of 2020. RRT was implemented in 11 hospitals, of which 5 (45.5%) operated 24-h RRT (all-day RRT) and the remaining 6 (54.5%) had part-day RRT (non-all-day RRT). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality between the two groups. Results Of the 405 patients with hospital-onset sepsis, 206 (50.9%) were admitted to hospitals operating all-day RRT, whereas 199 (49.1%) were hospitalized in hospitals with non-all-day RRT. A total of 73 of the 206 patients in the all-day group (35.4%) and 85 of the 199 patients in the non-all-day group (42.7%) died in the hospital ( P  = 0.133). After adjustments for co-variables, the implementation of all-day RRT was associated with a significant reduction in in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio 0.57; 95% confidence interval 0.35–0.93; P  = 0.024). Conclusions In comparison with non-all-day RRTs, the availability of all-day RRTs was associated with reduced in-hospital mortality among patients with hospital-onset sepsis.

    Abstract: Data regarding the clinical effects of bacteremia on severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are limited. Thus, we investigated clinical characteristics and outcomes of severe CAP patients with bacteremia compared with those of subjects without bacteremia. In addition, we evaluated clinical factors associated with bacteremia at the time of sepsis awareness. Methods We enrolled sepsis patients diagnosed with CAP at emergency departments (EDs) from an ongoing nationwide multicenter observational registry, the Korean Sepsis Alliance, between September 2019 and December 2020. For evaluation of clinical factors associated with bacteremia, we divided eligible patients into bacteremia and non-bacteremia groups, and logistic regression analysis was performed using the clinical characteristics at the time of sepsis awareness. Result During the study period, 1,510 (47.9%) sepsis patients were caused by CAP, and bacteremia was identified in 212 (14.0%) patients. Septic shock occurred more frequently in the bacteremia group than in the non-bacteremia group (27.4% vs. 14.8%; p   〈  0.001). In multivariable analysis, hematologic malignancies and septic shock were associated with an increased risk of bacteremia. However, chronic lung disease was associated with a decreased risk of bacteremia. Hospital mortality was significantly higher in the bacteremia group than in the non-bacteremia group (27.3% vs. 40.6%, p   〈  0.001). The most prevalent pathogen in blood culture was Klebsiella pneumoniae followed by Escherichia coli in gram-negative pathogens. Conclusion The incidence of bacteremia in severe CAP was low at 14.0%, but the occurrence of bacteremia was associated with increased hospital mortality. In severe CAP, hematologic malignancies and septic shock were associated with an increased risk of bacteremia.

    Abstract: There is limited information about the outcomes of polymicrobial bloodstream infections in patients with sepsis. We aimed to investigate outcomes of polymicrobial bloodstream infections compared to monomicrobial bloodstream infections. Methods This study used data from the Korean Sepsis Alliance Registry, a nationwide database of prospective observational sepsis cohort. Adult sepsis patients with bloodstream infections from September 2019 to December 2021 at 20 tertiary or university-affiliated hospitals in South Korea were analyzed. Results Among the 3,823 patients with bloodstream infections, 429 of them (11.2%) had polymicrobial bloodstream infections. The crude hospital mortality of patients with sepsis with polymicrobial bloodstream infection and monomicrobial bloodstream infection was 35.7% and 30.1%, respectively ( p  = 0.021). However, polymicrobial bloodstream infections were not associated with hospital mortality in the proportional hazard analysis (HR 1.15 [0.97–1.36], p  = 0.11). The inappropriate use of antibiotics was associated with increased mortality (HR 1.37 [1.19–1.57], p   〈  0.001), and source control was associated with decreased mortality (HR 0.51 [0.42–0.62], p   〈  0.001). Conclusions Polymicrobial bloodstream infections per se were not associated with hospital mortality in patients with sepsis as compared to monomicrobial bloodstream infections. The appropriate use of antibiotics and source control were associated with decreased mortality in bloodstream infections regardless of the number of microbial pathogens.

    Abstract: The prevalence of obesity is increasing in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although obesity is a known risk factor for chronic kidney disease, its association with early sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) and their combined association with patient outcomes warrant further investigation. Objective To explore the association between obesity, early SA-AKI incidence, and clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis. Design, Setting, and Participants This nationwide, prospective cohort study analyzed patients aged 19 years or older who had sepsis and were admitted to 20 tertiary hospital ICUs in Korea between September 1, 2019, and December 31, 2021. Patients with preexisting stage 3A to 5 chronic kidney disease and those with missing body mass index (BMI) values were excluded. Exposures Sepsis and hospitalization in the ICU. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was SA-AKI incidence within 48 hours of ICU admission, and secondary outcomes were mortality and clinical recovery (survival to discharge within 30 days). Patients were categorized by BMI (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared), and data were analyzed by logistic regression adjusted for key characteristics and clinical factors. Multivariable fractional polynomial regression models and restricted cubic spline models were used to analyze the clinical outcomes with BMI as a continuous variable. Results Of the 4041 patients (median age, 73 years [IQR, 63-81 years]; 2349 [58.1%] male) included in the study, 1367 (33.8%) developed early SA-AKI. Obesity was associated with a higher incidence of SA-AKI compared with normal weight (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.40; 95% CI, 1.15-1.70), as was every increase in BMI of 10 (OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.47-2.08). While obesity was associated with lower in-hospital mortality in patients without SA-AKI compared with their counterparts without obesity (ie, underweight, normal weight, overweight) (AOR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.54-0.94), no difference in mortality was observed in those with SA-AKI (AOR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.65-1.12). Although patients with obesity without SA-AKI had a greater likelihood of clinical recovery than their counterparts without obesity, clinical recovery was less likely among those with both obesity and SA-AKI. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of patients with sepsis, obesity was associated with a higher risk of early SA-AKI and the presence of SA-AKI modified the association of obesity with clinical outcomes.
