Center for Sepsis Epidemiology and Prevention Studies (SEPSIS)
About the Center
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by a dysregulated immune response to infection, leading to organ dysfunction, shock, and often death. Despite advances in modern medicine, sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality, contributing to over 350,000 deaths annually in the US and one in five deaths worldwide. The economic and emotional toll is staggering, with billions of dollars in healthcare costs each year and long-term disability affecting many survivors.
Although sepsis awareness and treatment have improved over time, progress is hindered by gaps in epidemiologic surveillance, challenges in diagnosis, variability in clinical presentations, and uncertainties about optimal prevention and management strategies. We are committed to closing these gaps through cutting-edge research and data-driven solutions.
