Epidemiology of Sepsis Among Children and Neonates in Germany

Epidemiology of Sepsis Among Children and Neonates in Germany - Results From an Observational Study Based on Nationwide Diagnosis-Related Groups Data Between 2010 and 2016 (Critical Care Medicine).



Worldwide, more than half of all sepsis cases occur in pediatric and adolescent patients, particularly in neonates. Previous population-based studies in these age groups often were limited to either neonatal or pediatric patients admitted to ICUs. We aimed to investigate the overall and age-specific
incidence and case fatality of sepsis in children in Germany, [...]


[...]
The incidence of pediatric sepsis was 14 cases per 100,000 children between 0
and 19 years. Case fatality was 16.6% and decreased from 17.8% (2010) to 15.0%
(2016). A total of 11.5% of hospital deaths in the age group 0–19 years were
associated with pediatric sepsis.
[...]

In neonates, the incidence of neonatal sepsis was 1,006
cases per 100,000 live births. Case fatality was 3.9%. While 17.7% of very low
birth weight infants had neonatal sepsis, only 2.1% of low birth weight and
0.6% of normal birth weight neonates were affected, respectively.

Conclusions:
Sepsis is also in Germany a common and frequently fatal condition in pediatric
patients, particularly among neonates and children with comorbidities.
