    Maintaining pulse pressure (PP) levels between 40-70 mmHg during early resuscitation significantly lowers 28-day mortality in septic shock patients.

  • 2

    PP levels above 70 mmHg or below 40 mmHg are independent risk factors for increased mortality in septic shock patients.

  • 3

    Age influences the relationship between PP and mortality; elderly patients have higher mortality risk with PP > 70 mmHg.

  • 4

    Younger patients (≤65 years) face greater mortality risk with PP < 40 mmHg, indicating age-specific hemodynamic management needs.

  • 5

    Future studies should explore targeted PP management strategies based on age to improve outcomes in septic shock patients.
