Linking Sepsis with chronic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and socioeconomic factors in the United States: A scoping review
Authors' conclusion
The distribution of chronic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, social risk factors associated with socioeconomic disadvantage, and sepsis incidence, are clustered in specific geographical areas and linked by endothelial dysfunction.
Study context
- Population
- English-language US articles, 1990–2022, on sepsis and socioeconomic disadvantage, chronic arterial hypertension and DMarticles included
- Participants
- 139 articles
- Outcome
- Sepsis disparities and socioeconomic disadvantage
Methodological detailsSearched PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus; 2064 articles found
- Searched PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus; 2064 articles found
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Consistently higher sepsis incidence, mortality, readmissions and complications in neighborhoods with socioeconomic disadvantage and significant poverty
- Chronic arterial hypertension and DM occur more frequently in the same geographic distribution as sepsis, suggesting a potential shared pathophysiology
