EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PROGNOSIS OF SEPSIS IN EMERGENCY ADULTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR PHYSICAL HEALTH AND RECOVERY IN SPORTS MEDICINE

Abstract

Objective: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by systemic inflammation and potential organ failure, posing significant challenges in emergency medicine. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are essential to improving patient outcomes, yet limited epidemiological data on sepsis in emergency adult populations persist. This study analyzes the epidemiology and prognostic indicators of sepsis in emergency adults to support better clinical management. Methods: Clinical data from adult sepsis patients admitted to emergency departments were examined, focusing on infection sources, severity scores, and treatment outcomes. Prognostic factors such as organ dysfunction, hospital stay length, and mortality were assessed, emphasizing the role of early intervention and dynamic patient monitoring. Results: The study identified common infection sources, high-risk patient profiles, and key prognostic indicators linked to sepsis severity. Timely interventions, including antibiotic use, fluid resuscitation, and infection control, significantly improved survival rates and reduced hospital stays. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and proactive management are critical to improving sepsis outcomes in emergency settings. Integrating post-sepsis rehabilitation strategies, including physical activity programs, may further enhance recovery and overall health, offering valuable insights for sports and rehabilitation medicine.
