About
A retrospective study of sepsis patients with abdominal infections who underwent abdominal surgery was conducted in an attempt to reveal the epidemiological characteristics of sepsis after abdominal surgery, risk factors, and to analyze the prognosis of the patients, to reveal indicators of predictive value for the prognosis of patients with sepsis, with a view to providing certain evidence for optimizing the perianesthesia management of patients with sepsis.
Full description
Background and Aims: Abdominal sepsis refers to a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the presence of infection, inflammation, and tissue damage within the abdominal cavity. Glucocorticoids (GCs) play an important role in regulation of the host immune and inflammation responses involved in sepsis and surgery. This study aimed to investigate the potential impact of intraoperative GCs administration on the clinical outcome of surgical patients with abdominal sepsis.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included a 1:1 propensity score-matched cohort of surgical patients afflicted with abdominal sepsis at 2 medical centers from January, 2008, through December, 2022. Patients were classified into low-GCs, high-GCs, and non-GCs groups according to the dosage of steroids used intraoperatively, and in-hospital mortality was designated as the primary outcome.
