Abstract
Abstract
Background
We aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of sepsis in secondary and tertiary hospitals in Beijing, China between 2012 and 2018 using information derived from the Beijing Public Health System.
Methods
The Beijing Public Health System accessed hospital homepage databases and identify patients who diagnosed sepsis or associated condition according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, Clinical Modification codes. There are 125 hospitals involved in this study, including 61 secondary hospitals, accounting for 49.2%, and 63 tertiary hospitals, accounting for 50.8%. Patients were stratified by age as minors (0–17 years old), adults (18–64 years old), seniors (65–84 years old), and the elderly (≥ 85 years old). Patient’s demographic information, treatments, outcomes, and all-cause hospitalization cost were evaluated.
Results
This study involved 8,597 patients. Patients treated in tertiary hospitals or received blood transfusion decreased with age, while patients who were male, received ventilation, or took Traditional Chinese Medicine, and in-hospital mortality and hospitalization cost, increased with age. There were 2,729 (31.7%) deaths in this study. A slight increase in in-hospital mortality occurred from 2012 to 2018. Median hospitalization cost for all patients was ¥29,453 (15,011, 65,237). Hospitalization cost showed no significant change from 2012 to 2016, but increased in 2017 and 2018.
Conclusion
Sepsis is associated with high mortality and cost. From 2012 to 2018, in-hospital mortality and hospitalization cost of sepsis in Beijing increased significantly with age, and slightly by year.
