The Sepsis Kills quality improvement initiative was formally launched in 2011. Has it provided any benefit yet? Is it too early to tell? What happens now that Sepsis 3.0 has been released?
A database analysis study published in the MJA in February suggests some early positive signs.
Here’s the paper (Yes, it’s open access):
