What is Sepsis?
• Bacteria or fungus enter
bloodstream2
• Community or hospital
acquired3
• Response by innate
immune system to
infections4
– Release cytokines
– Blood vessel dilation and
Clots
– Organ Impairment
– Organ Failure
• Treatment
– Antibiotics, oxygen, and
fluids
5
An Open Inquiry
• Exploring an obscure trend
– Sepsis mortality
• 2nd highest rate of large cities
– Philadelphia
• Leads to several questions
– Medical factors
– Social factors
• Place
• Aim to solve puzzle of high mortality rate
Sepsis Mortality by the Numbers
• Databases with mortality
figures
– WISQARS
– WONDER
• 10th leading cause of
death in the U.S.
• Low sepsis awareness
– International survey
• 22% have heard of the
term1

How to Measure Sepsis Mortality?
• ICD-10
• Septicaemia codes18
– A40-A41
• Reliability
– Wang et al19: wider
definition for
research
• Death by infection
A40 Streptococcal septicaemia
Excludes: during labour ( O75.3 )
following:
· abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy ( O03-O07 ,
O08.0 )
· immunization ( T88.0 )
· infusion, transfusion or therapeutic injection ( T80.2
)
neonatal ( P36.0-P36.1 )
postprocedural ( T81.4 )
puerperal ( O85 )
A40.0 Septicaemia due to streptococcus, group A
A40.1 Septicaemia due to streptococcus, group B
A40.2 Septicaemia due to streptococcus, group D
A40.3 Septicaemia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae
Pneumococcal septicaemia
A40.8 Other streptococcal septicaemia
A40.9 Streptococcal septicaemia, unspecified
Comparing Sepsis Mortality Rates
• Rank large cities
– Septicemia A40-A41
– Codes of Wang et al
• Compare Philadelphia to large cities with low and
high sepsis mortality
• Three cities:
– Baltimore 1st
– Philadelphia 2nd
– San Francisco 62nd
Deconstructing the Numbers
• Complied data for three variables
– Race
– Age
– Sex
• Compared rates between the three cities
