Key result
Among patients with septic shock, 32% of deaths occurred early (≤3 days) mainly due to multiple organ failure, while 68% occurred later, mostly related to ICU-acquired complications and end-of-life decisions.

Distinguishes early refractory from late preventable deaths in septic shock; hypothesis-generating for phase-specific strategies, should not yet change practice.

In septic shock, early deaths are primarily driven by intractable multiple organ failure, whereas late deaths are frequently associated with ICU-acquired complications and end-of-life decisions.
Daviaud et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Septic shock (n=543). Septic shock was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Among patients with septic shock, 32% of deaths occurred early (≤3 days) mainly due to multiple organ failure, while 68% occurred later, mostly related to ICU-acquired complications and end-of-life decisions.
