Sepsis code group is subjects with ICD9-CM codes for severe sepsis or septic shock. Combination code group is subjects with ICD9-CM codes for infection plus organ dysfunction. Control group 1 is subjects without ICD9-CM codes for sepsis, infection, or organ dysfunction matched to sepsis code subjects on date of hospital admission. Control group 2 is subjects with ICD9-CM codes for infection but not sepsis or organ dysfunction matched to the sepsis code group based on admission status to the intensive care unit or regular inpatient floor. Medical record review was performed blind to group assignment.
