Summary
Sepsis is caused by a systemic inflammatory response to bacteria and bacterial toxins in the bloodstream [1]. Sepsis can result in multiple organ failure, which is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality [2]. In 2009, sepsis was the most expensive reason for hospitalization, amounting to $15.4 billion in hospital costs (4.3% of all hospital costs), and was the sixth most common cause of hospitalization [1].
