    Intravenous fluids are essential in sepsis management, with SSC guidelines recommending ≥30 mL/kg for patients with sepsis-induced hypoperfusion.

  • 2

    Concerns about fluid overload in patients with severe comorbidities may lead clinicians to hesitate in administering recommended fluid volumes.

  • 3

    The study evaluated the association between fluid administration and 30-day mortality in community-onset sepsis patients across various target populations.

  • 4

    Three approaches to weight-based fluid dosing were analyzed: tailored, SEP-1, and pragmatic, each with different criteria for fluid volume calculation.

  • 5

    The primary exposure was receiving at least 30 mL/kg of fluid within 6 hours of hospital arrival, aligning with SSC guidelines for fluid resuscitation.
