admission.
(2) Give you some tools in
discussing complex cases with
surgeons and ICU.

Number and Severity of Co-morbid Illness
Non-surgical admission
Mechanical Ventilation

Mean age: 77 years
Prevalence of moderate-severe cognitive dysfunction
increased 11% (OR 3.34) after an episode of
sepsis

Results
Those with no to moderate limitation
prior to an episode of severe sepsis
had the most to lose.
Severe sepsis contributes to a significant
decline in cognitive and functional
state.
This lasts at least 8 years.
