Sepsis in Internal Medicine: blood culture-based subtypes, hospital outcomes, and predictive biomarkers by Gaetano Zizzo, Gabriele Guazzardi, Daniela Bompane, Francesco Di Terlizzi, Giorgio Rotola, Ilario Stefani, Michela Medugno, Mario Bucalo, Antonino Mazzone

“…Blood culture-negative sepses showed shorter stays and higher mortality (acute kidney injury and fast deterioration) compared to culture-positive ones; polymicrobial sepses showed higher ICU transfer rates (acute respiratory distress); while multidrug-resistant (MDR+) and/or polymicrobial sepses showed longer stays and higher mortality (complicated course) compared to drug-sensitive or monomicrobial ones. C-reactive protein elevation predicted rapidly evolving culture-negative sepsis, whereas lower leukocyte counts predicted prolonged hospitalization; higher fractions of inspired oxygen predicted polymicrobial sepsis, while lactate elevation predicted ICU transfer; ferritin elevation and increased leukocyte counts predicted MDR+ sepsis, while further ferritin elevation and decreased platelet counts predicted death. …”
