Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Retrospective review of the outcomes of severe sepsis patients in Surgical Intensive Care Unit of National Taiwan University Hospital from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients suffered from severe sepsis or septic shock have a mortality of 20\~54%. It is major healthcare problems, affecting millions of individuals around the world each year. An international group of experts in the diagnosis and management of infection and sepsis, representing 11 organizations, published the first internationally accepted guidelines that the bedside clinician could use to improve outcomes in severe sepsis and septic shock in 2004, and further outcome was reported in 2008. Lots of medical centers have joined the Surviving Sepsis Campaign and follow the latest guideline. Many reports have shown that Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guideline can reduce patient mortality.

In surgical intensive care units of National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guideline was conducted since 2009. Our purpose is to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of severe sepsis patient in surgical intensive care units of NTUH by retrospective review of medical chart.
