Conclusions and Relevance
In clinical data from 409 hospitals, sepsis was present in 6% of adult hospitalizations , and in contrast to claims-based analyses, neither the incidence of sepsis nor the combined outcome of death or discharge to hospice changed significantly between 2009-2014. The findings also suggest that EHR-based clinical data provide more objective estimates than claims-based data for sepsis surveillance.
