Sepsis is a notoriously difficult condition to manage, mainly because of challenges with its early detection, and it continues to have a high mortality rate; a recent meta-analysis reported a pooled 30-day rate of 24%. Sepsis can develop outside or inside the hospital, on general care units or in the ICU — in one study, 41% of cases occurred outside the ICU, where patients are less closely monitored.
