    Sepsis has a high in-hospital mortality rate of 41.9%, necessitating early identification of risk factors for improved patient outcomes.

  • 2

    Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) is a non-invasive measure of arterial stiffness that can be calculated using age and blood pressure.

  • 3

    Higher levels of ePWV are associated with increased in-hospital mortality risk in patients with sepsis, similar to findings in other critical conditions.

  • 4

    The study utilizes data from the MIMIC-IV database, focusing on patients diagnosed with sepsis during their first ICU admission.

  • 5

    This research aims to analyze the prognostic value of ePWV in sepsis patients to enhance early risk stratification and improve prognosis.
