One can falsely assume that it is well known that bacteremia is associated with higher
mortality in sepsis. Only a handful of studies specifically focus on the comparison of culture …

Among patients with suspected sepsis, endotoxemia is variably present in association with
gram-negative bacteremia. A total of 738 patients with suspected sepsis from 11 studies …

BACKGROUND: The primary objective of this study was to compare the characteristics of
culture-positive and culture-negative status in septic patients. We also determined whether …

The clinical implications of bacteremia among septic patients remain unclear, although a
vast amount of data have been accumulated on sepsis. We aimed to compare the clinical …

Objective To investigate whether common infection foci (pulmonary, intra-abdominal and
primary bacteraemia) are associated with variations in mortality risk in patients with sepsis …

Background Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and health care costs
worldwide. Methods We conducted a multicenter, prospective cohort study evaluating the …

Pathogenic sepsis is not a monolithic condition. Three major types of sepsis exist within this
category: bacterial, viral, and fungal, each with its own mechanism of action. While similar in …

Background Few studies have studied the relationship between blood culture and mortality
in sepsis patients. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics and outcomes of …

Background The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of bacteremia on
intensive care unit (ICU) mortality and to develop a bacteremia prediction tool using …

Purpose Fast diagnosis and initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy is pivotal for the
survival of sepsis patients. However, most studies on suspected sepsis patients are …
