I have a question: A patient was admitted with septic shock, and we successfully treated him and he survived to ICU discharge. Approximately 17 days later, he codes and dies on the floor (unknown reason why) the day before he was slated to be discharged from the hospital.
Does this really count against our sepsis mortality? Hesham A.
