Sepsis among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 PHC4 COVID-19 analyses COVID-19 -- complications Hospitalization -- statistics & numerical data Sepsis -- epidemiology This research brief focuses on patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who also had a diagnosis of sepsis. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by a system-wide inflammatory response to infection that can worsen to acute organ dysfunction. This research brief examines Pennsylvania residents and non-residents of all ages who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and discharged from a Pennsylvania acute care hospital from March through September 2020. As these hospitalizations occurred during the first seven months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the results form a basis for future analysis and comparison as subsequent data becomes available. The results in this report were not adjusted for age or other patient characteristics to avoid masking important sociodemographic differences.
