- Global epidemiology of pediatric severe sepsis: the sepsis prevalence, outcomes, and therapies study. (2015, background): “Moreover, hospital mortality, often considered to be too low to practically study in pediatric severe sepsis, was 25% and exceeded prior epidemiological estimates that relied on retrospective administrative data (1, 4, 43).”
- International pediatric sepsis consensus conference: Definitions for sepsis and organ dysfunction in pediatrics* (2005, background): “Children with underlying disease, including immunocompromised patients, make up a much larger proportion of the population with severe sepsis than in adults (9).”
- Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock: 2008 (2007, background): “While sepsis in children is a major cause of mortality, the overall mortality from severe sepsis in children is much lower that that in adults, estimated at about 10% (298).”
