Behavior of sepsis in the Eduardo Agramonte Piña Provincial Pediatric Hospital
Abstract
Introduction: Currently, sepsis is considered one of the main causes of multiple organ dysfunction and the increase in mortality of patients diagnosed in emergency services. The impact is negative on the health of the population, and the expenses generated in the health system are estimated at several billion dollars.
Objective: To determine the behavior of sepsis in the Eduardo Agramonte Piña Provincial Pediatric Hospital.
Methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective descriptive, observational study was carried out to determine the behavior of sepsis at the Eduardo Agramonte Piña Provincial Pediatric Hospital from January 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2020. The universe of the study consisted of all the children admitted (1 180) with this diagnosis to the hospital who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: A downward trend in sepsis cases was observed from 2016 to 2020. With a predominance of the age group of 1-4 years and male sex. The main diagnosis was acute respiratory infections followed by pneumonia. Most of the patients(90.1 %) were discharged alive.
Conclusions: Recognizing that sepsis is a priority, early admission to intensive care units is necessary to achieve comprehensive management of these patients and thus reduce mortality from this cause.
