Description
Duk Ki Kim and co-authors study sepsis care in very old patients across South Korea, in work published in 2024. Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to infection. Care follows a bundle of timed steps, such as measuring blood markers, giving fluids, and starting drugs that raise blood pressure.
The study drew on a national database with close to twelve thousand sepsis patients, about a third of them aged 80 or older. Patients who survived were younger, less frail, and had less organ failure on arrival. They were also more likely to get key bundle steps within the first hour and the right antibiotics within a day. Death was linked to age, frailty, organ failure scores, and other health problems. The authors call for care plans shaped to very old patients.
