Popis: Background: Severe sepsis/septic shock is associated with high mortality. In Central Europe, there is a dearth of information on the prevalence and treatment of severe sepsis. The EPOSS (Data-based Evaluation and Prediction of Outcome in Severe Sepsis) project launched in 2011 was aimed at collecting data on patients with severe sepsis/septic shock. Methods: The EPOSS study processes data from the EPOSS project database, and is a retrospective, multicentre, observational study. This included all consecutive patients aged 18 and over who were admitted to participating ICUs from 1 January 2011 to 5 November 2013 and met the inclusion criteria of severe sepsis/septic shock. The primary endpoint was to analyse the relationship between in-hospital mortality (either in ICU or after discharge from ICU) and the type and number of fulfilled diagnostic and treatment interventions during the first 6 h after the diagnosis of severe sepsis/septic shock. Results: The collected dataset involved 1082 patients meeting the criteria of severe sepsis/septic shock. Following data validation, a final dataset of 897 patients was obtained. The average age of the patient group was 64.7 years; mortality at discharge from EPOSS ICUs was 35.5% and from hospital 40.7%. Of the 10 evaluated diagnostic and treatment interventions within the initial 6 hours of identifying severe sepsis/septic shock (i.e. fulfilment of SSC bundles), four or five diagnostic and treatment interventions were administered to 58.4% patients. Combined diagnostic and treatment interventions associated with the lowest in-hospital mortality were: CVP of ≥8-12 mm Hg & MAP of ≥65 mm Hg & Urine output at ≥0.5 mL/kg/h & Lactate of ≤4.0 mmol/L & Initial lactate measured & Antibiotics in the first hour.
