Determinants of Septic Shock and 90-Day Mortality after Postoperative Healthcare-Associated Intra-Abdominal Infection: The SEPSI-POP study, a Multicentre Retrospective Study.

Key Points

• This research investigates the factors leading to septic shock and 90-day mortality following intra-abdominal infections in postoperative patients.
• Multicentre retrospective study design
• Analysis of patient data with focuses on risk factors
• Examination of fungal colonization and frailty as shared risks
• Assessment of age, organ failure, and source control effectiveness for mortality
• Fungal colonization and frailty identified as common risk factors for septic shock
• Age and organ failure were significant predictors of 90-day mortality
• Inadequate source control correlated with increased mortality rates
