- Abstract
In a Chinese population-based study, the standardised sepsis-related mortality rate was 67 deaths per 100,000 population, corresponding to more than 1 million sepsis-related deaths in 2015 in China [[5]]. Despite these alarming numbers and despite an estimated 30 million cases of sepsis and 6 million sepsis-related deaths in the world each year, there seems to be a lack of awareness of sepsis in the public. Early identification and prediction of patients at risk of developing sepsis, including sepsis-associated adverse outcomes, are paramount and have been researched extensively. MHM is a methodologist in the adult Surviving Sepsis Campaign guideline and a panel member of the children Surviving Sepsis Campaign guideline.
