Table 2. Illness severity and outcomes in patients with sepsis.
displays illness severity scores, biomarkers of end organ perfusion as well as outcomes for the septic cohort. Lactate, VIS/IS score and MODS score were calculated on day of echocardiogram acquisition while PRISM III was calculated within 24 hrs of admission

| IS | 23 | 8 (7.25 – 23.5) | 9/23 | |
| VIS | 23 | 8 (5 – 22) | 11/23 | |
| MODS score | 8 | 10 (7.5 – 11.5) | NA | |
| PRISM III score | 18 | 15 (10 – 16) | NA | |
