Abstract
Background and objective: Infection is a common problem precipitating admission to hospital. Patients with sepsis need to be recognised and treated swiftly and appropriately to ensure the optimal outcome. However, there are many potential problems with recognition of severe sepsis at an early stage, and systems delays may also mean that patients are not diagnosed and treated timeously. This study aimed to examine the incidence of sepsis in patients admitted to a large teaching hospital and then study the group with sepsis more closely, looking at severity of sepsis at presentation, factors which are likely to affect outcome, and outcomes including length of stay and mortality.
