Sepsis and Septic Shock
Prognosis for Sepsis and Septic Shock
Without treatment, most people with septic shock die. Even with treatment, there is a significant risk of death. On average, about 30 to 40% of people with septic shock die. However, the risk of death varies greatly depending on many factors, including how quickly people are treated, the type of bacteria involved (particularly whether the bacteria are Antibiotic Resistance ) and the person's underlying health status.
