Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's immune system reacts to an infection by attacking its own tissues and organs. It can lead to organ failure, septic shock, and death if not treated promptly.
Despite improvement in the rates of people dying of sepsis in the hospital, the condition is still a leading cause of hospital readmissions and costs, as well as long - term disabilities and impairments, prompting University of Pittsburgh and University of Michigan medical scientists to develop thorough recommendations for post-hospital recovery care and future clinical trials.

The outpatient approach has resulted in a decreased incidence of infections and avoided the development of severe sepsis associated with hospital - acquired infections, significantly improving survival and quality of care. (stemcellimmuneregenerative.com)
