Summary
The number of sepsis-related inpatient stays at non-federal acute care hospitals in the United States increased from 1.8 million in 2016 to 2.5 million in 2021, with a faster rate of increase following the emergence of Covid-19 in 2020, according to an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) report to Congress.
AHRQ’s comprehensive federal analysis includes detailed information on national trends in hospital utilisation, morbidity, and in-hospital mortality; trends for key patient populations; disparities in hospital utilization for sepsis and associated outcomes; and state variations in hospital utilization and associated costs, and in-hospital mortality rates.
