Introduction: sepsis is a serious public health problem, leading cause of death in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) worldwide. Objective: this study evaluated the aggravation and mortality of sepsis patients in ICU, relating to risk factors, different etiologies and therapies. Methodology: the study was observational descriptive, and evaluated the cases of sepsis (sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock) from January 2009 to December 2010. Results: of the 212 patients hospitalized in ICU, 181 presented sepsis at different severities, whose sepsis mortality in the ICU was 63%, especially in patients with septic shock (53%), followed by severe sepsis (8.3%). Moreover, the risk factors associated with the aggravation of sepsis were older than 65 years, longer ICU hospitalization time, high frequency of comorbidities and the use of invasive procedures. The highest consumption of antibiotics was carbapenems, and the main isolated multiresistant strains were MRSA, VRE, P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii resistant to carbapenems. Conclusion: this study showed a high mortality from sepsis patients in the ICU, especially in patients with septic shock with comorbidities, who underwent invasive procedures and longer hospitalization time.

Sepse e choque séptico: avaliação de fatores preditivos em crianças portadoras de doenças oncológicas admitidas na unidade de terapia intensiva pediátrica

This is a prospective study that analyzed predictive factors related with the evolution of sepsis and the septic shock, regarding patients carrying oncologic lymphoproliferative disorder and solid tumorations which where admitted in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital Ophir Loyola, and also validated the PRISM III score in order to predict the evolution of these patients. The study included patients in the age bracket of 30 days – 16 years hospitalized between December 2007 and March 2008 whom survived for the first 24 hours. The data of the patients consisted in epidemiologic, clinical and laboratorial parameters, treatment received and evolution to death or recovery, that were collected from a clinical chart, as well as the PRISM score collected in the first 24 hours since admitted in the unit. The logistic regression statistics analysis was performed through the epidemiologic, clinical and laboratorial variables. The results demonstrated that the average age of the patients was 72.8 months, of whom 66.18% were male with a hospitalization average time of 12.10 days, and also that the major percentage (69.12%) came from the countryside and other states. The most common cause of admission was sepsis (41.18%); more than half of the patients presented neutropenic fever (55.88%) and required inotropic-vasoactive drugs (55.88%); used mechanic ventilation (47.06%) with 51.47 % of the cases concluding in death. The univariate logistic regression evidenced as significant risk factor for death the time of hospitalization, utilization of inotropic-vasoactive drugs and mechanic ventilation. The analysis of the death related to the PRISM score was also significant. The multivariate analysis presented as the most significant risk factors for death the utilization of inotropic-vasoactive drugs, the use of mechanic ventilation and the PRISM III score. The untimely start of the intensive treatment for children with cancer presenting sepsis and septic shock can be a factor capable to influence the mortality of these patients.
