Sepsis and Subsequent Psychiatric Morbidity: A Nationwide Population-Based Matched Cohort Study, 2008–2019

Puntos clave

This research aims to determine the long-term psychiatric consequences of sepsis in patients compared to controls.
Conducted a matched cohort study with nationwide population data from 2008 to 2019.
Identified patients with sepsis and matched them with population controls.
Assessed the incidence of psychiatric events over a 5-year period.
Patients with sepsis showed a higher incidence of psychiatric events compared to controls.
The risk of developing psychiatric conditions remained elevated for at least 5 years post-sepsis.

Resumen

Patients with sepsis had a higher subsequent incidence of psychiatric events compared with matched population controls, with a persistently elevated risk for at least 5 years. This increased risk suggests that sepsis may have a long-term impact on psychiatric health, warranting consideration of preventive strategies.
