• Improvement in process of care and outcome after a multicenter severe sepsis educational program in Spain. (2008, result): “The mortality, age, comorbidities, and source of sepsis in our study population is comparable with those found in several epidemiological studies on sepsis.(4,18)”
• Sepsis in European intensive care units: Results of the SOAP study* (2006, background): “Alberti and colleagues (3) examined 14,364 patients in six European countries and Canada with 4,500 documented infectious episodes and reported a hospital mortality rate of 16.”
• Impact of adequate empirical antibiotic therapy on the outcome of patients admitted to the intensive care unit with sepsis* (2003, background): “The kind of patients, source of infection, microbiology, and prognosis clearly differ between intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired episodes and those episodes that give rise to ICU admission (6).”
