This study intends to characterize epidemiology of community-acquired SS (CASS) with special emphasis in the prevalence of multidrug resistant organisms and independent prognostic factors associated with ICU mortality. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted over 3.5 years, including all consecutive adult patients with CASS admitted to a mixed ICU, in a 600-bed university-affiliated hospital. Results: 1221 patients were admitted into the ICU, 25% with CASS. The mean age was 59 years and the mean SAPS (simplified acute physiological score) was II 48. Most had septic shock (67%). Respiratory (57%), intra-abdominal (22%) and urinary tract (8%) infections were the main sources of infection. The overall isolation rate was 56%. The most common identified microorganisms were Streptococcus pneumoniae (27%), Escherichia coli (22%), Staphylococcus aureus methicillin sensitive (8%) and Haemophilus influenzae (7%). The median ICU and hospital length of stay were 8 and 16 days, respectively. The ICU mortality rate was 33. Independent risk factors associated with higher mortality were older age, higher SAPS II, septic shock and chronic hepatic disease. Female gender was independently associated with lower mortality. The type of microorganism was not significantly associated with prognosis. Conclusion: CASS was highly prevalent among ICU admissions. Independent risk factors associated with ICU mortality included older age and previous comorbidities, but mainly severity of acute illness reinforcing the need for early recognition and treatment. Multidrug resistant organisms were implicated in considerable proportion of community-acquired sepsis.展开更多

The etiology of sever sepsis and septic shock during pregnancy and postpartum result from obstetric related or non-obstetric related conditions. Objectives: It aimed to determine rate, characters, morbidity and mortality of septic obstetric cases at Omdurman New Hospital. Methods: It was a descriptive, prospective, analytic, cross-sectional hospital based total coverage study;conducted at Omdurman New Hospital (ONH), Khartoum-Sudan. Results: Sever sepsis and septic shock rate 1.16 (13/1124 = 1.16%) of hospital pregnancy complication admission. Hyperthermia, Tachycardia and hypotension are the main presenting clinical findings and uterine infection is the main focus of sepsis. The mean average Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay is 6.3-day. Organs dysfunctions are the main morbidity and mortality is reported in five cases. Conclusion: Sever sepsis and septic shock contributes in maternal morbidity and mortality. Safe obstetric care prevents maternal sepsis and improves the outcome. Management of sever sepsis and septic shock remains a challenge in obstetric medicine.展开更多
