Description
Patients past ninety who land in intensive care with septic shock face steep odds, and the infection's source may matter. Je Min Suh and co-authors compare urinary against non-urinary sources in 1,095 such patients from an Australia-New Zealand database spanning 2010 to 2023. Careful matching balanced the groups before comparison.
Non-urinary infections killed more patients at every horizon. Intensive care mortality ran about sixteen percent against nine, and hospital mortality about twenty-nine against seventeen. A standard severity score predicted death, while age itself did not. Urine output and blood acidity were the sharpest single signals in each group. The 2025 study urges source-aware care for the very old.
