Data in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals. In-hospital sepsis case fatality rate = the proportion of patients with sepsis who die in hospitals among all hospitalized sepsis patients over one calendar year; In-hospital sepsis mortality rate = the proportion of all in-hospital sepsis-related deaths among the whole population over one calendar year
