| Parameter | Patients, % (95% CI) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sepsis-3 | R-code sepsis | Explicit sepsisb | Implicit, including explicit sepsis | |
| Cumulative incidencec | 4.1 (3.6-4.5) | 0.2 (0.2-0.2) | 1.0 (1.0-1.1) | 1.4 (1.4-1.5) |
| Annualized incidence-rate per 100 000 person-years | 747 (663-832) | 46 (32-58) | 287 (241-335) | 401 (362-440) |
