Abstrakt: Background: Our study addresses the sepsis research gap in lower middle-income countries, notably India. Here, we investigate community-acquired sepsis comprehensively and explore the impact of tropical microbiology on aetiology and outcomes.
Methods: MARS-India was a prospective observational study from Dec-2018 to Sep-2022 in a tertiary-care hospital in South India. Adult patients within 24hrs of ICU admission meeting the Sepsis 3.0 definition were enrolled, with 6-months follow-up (http://clinicaltrials.gov number NCT03727243).
Results: Over 4000 patients were screened on ICU admission, with 1000 unique patients meeting the inclusion criteria. Median age was 55 years (IQR: 44-65) with a male preponderance (66%). Almost half the cohort resided in villages (46.5%) and 74.6% worked in the primary sector. Mortality in-hospital was 24.1%. Overall, ∼54% had confirmed microbiological diagnosis. Over 18% had a viral cause of sepsis. Surprisingly, we identified leptospirosis (10.6%), scrub typhus (4.1%), dengue (3.7%) and Kyasanur forest disease (1.6%) as notables causes of sepsis. All these infections showed seasonal variation around the monsoon. In community-acquired infections we observed substantial resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins and carbapenems.
Conclusions: In India, sepsis disproportionally affects a younger and lower socio-economic demographic, yielding high mortality. Tropical and viral sepsis carry a significant burden. Analyzing local data, we pinpoint priorities for public health and resources, offering valuable insights for global sepsis research.
