Three quarters of all sepsis survivors are affected by newly added memory disorders, mental or physical illnesses. This is shown by a new study that examined Covid 19 patients. The malfunctions can remain permanent.
Three quarters of all sepsis survivors are accordingly affected by newly added memory disorders, mental or physical illnesses. For those who were younger than 40 at the time of sepsis , it is still around half, as German researchers report in the journal “Jama Network Open” .
In the first year after discharge alone, according to the analysis, three quarters of the sepsis survivors received a new diagnosis, and more than 30 percent died in the first year.
"Psychological, cognitive and physical consequences affect the majority of survivors and often occur together, which is a particular burden for those affected," said Christiane Hartog from the Charité. It makes little difference whether the sepsis was less severe or whether it had to be treated in the intensive care unit. "This is of great relevance, particularly with regard to the sequelae of infection after Covid-19."
More than 30 percent of the sepsis survivors were in need of care in the year after they were discharged from the hospital, it said. The experts put the average costs incurred by the survivors for inpatient and outpatient treatment, rehabilitation, remedies and medication at 29,000 euros per case in the first three years after the illness alone.
