I think of it as "All Cause Mortality" so, no matter where they are when they
expire it counts

Subject: Re: [Sepsis Groups] Mortality
I have a question for the establishing mortality rate:
Do you include a patient that is transfered out of the ICU but later expires on
the floor in the mortality rate?
or
Do you only count the patients that expire while in the ICU?

Yes, unless you can prove it to be completely unrelated. Which, it seems as
though you cannot.

Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Mortality
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?
