Urosepsis 30-day mortality, morbidity, and their risk factors: SERPENS study, a prospective, observational multi-center study

1

Urosepsis, resulting from urinary tract infections, accounts for 20-40% of all sepsis cases and poses significant mortality and morbidity risks.
2

The study assessed urosepsis outcomes in 354 patients across 34 European hospitals, focusing on 30-day mortality and morbidity.
3

Common risk factors for urosepsis include indwelling catheters, obstructive uropathy, and urological functional impairments.
4

The study utilized the SIRS criteria for diagnosis, despite its low specificity, to identify patients with urosepsis.
5

Gram-negative bacteria were the predominant pathogens in urosepsis cases, highlighting the challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
