1425: EARLY- VERSUS LATE-ONSET SEPTIC SHOCK: DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

After controlling for baseline characteristics, past medical history, and vasopressor requirements within the first 24 hours of septic shock, late-onset septic shock, compared to early-onset septic shock, was associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality [odds ratio (OR): 2.22, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.72 - 2.85, p < 0.01]. B Conclusion: b In this study, late-onset septic shock (> 7days) after hospital admission was associated with a significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to early-onset septic shock. B Result: b A total of 3,508 patients with septic shock (2,821 early-onset and 687 late-onset septic shock) were included. [Extracted from the article]
