Intravenous Vitamin D Protects Organs, Reduces Short-Term Mortality From Sepsis
A meta-analysis of 10 RCTs showed the use of IV vitamin D for sepsis is promising, but further research is needed.

Elevated Troponin I During Sepsis Linked to Risk of Post-Sepsis CV Events
Among patients with no known prior CVD, modestly elevated troponin I levels during sepsis have been associated with an increased risk for experiencing adverse CV events.
Risks, Diagnosis, and Management of Sepsis in Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy
Sepsis and septic shock are common oncologic emergencies that require vigilant, timely diagnosis and intervention. Timely and effective detection and treatment of these conditions are key to patient survival.
Vitamin C, Hydrocortisone, and Thiamine vs Hydrocortisone Alone for Septic Shock
In patients with septic shock, treatment with IV vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine does not lead to more rapid resolution compared with IV hydrocortisone alone.
COVID-19 Recovery Program Could Be Modeled After Virtual Sepsis Care
An existing virtual transition and recovery program for patients with sepsis may be used as a model for similar programs for COVID-19 survivors.
Outcome Disparities in Pediatric Sepsis By Ethnicity, Insurance Status
Study authors sought to determine whether hospital outcomes in childhood severe sepsis were influenced by race, ethnicity, or insurance status, which are proxies for socioeconomic positions.
Mechanically Ventilated Adults With Sepsis: Dexmedetomidine vs Propofol for Sedation
Light sedation with dexmedetomidine does not lead to more days alive without acute brain dysfunction compared with propofol in mechanically ventilated adults with sepsis.
Right Ventricular Dysfunction Affects Short- and Long-Term Mortality in Sepsis
Right ventricular dysfunction is associated with higher short-term and long-term mortality in sepsis and septic shock.
Risk Factors for Cytomegalovirus Reactivation in Patients With Sepsis
Investigators studied the reactivation of cytomegalovirus in critically ill patients with sepsis and identified measured of CMV reactivation that were associated with worse clinical outcomes.
Disparities in Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes in United States
Black children have higher odds of death; Hispanic and Black children have longer hospital stays, especially Black neonates
