New Study Challenges Assumptions About SEP-1 Bundle Compliance and Sepsis Outcomes
Center for Sepsis Epidemiology and Prevention Studies (SEPSIS)
Our mission is to advance sepsis care and prevention through rigorous clinical and epidemiological research that informs clinical practice, public health strategy, and healthcare policy.
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.
Research
Our center conducts clinical and epidemiologic research on sepsis with a particular focus on harnessing electronic health record data to improve disease surveillance, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
Research Projects
We conduct innovative research leveraging electronic health record (EHR) data to enhance sepsis surveillance and conduct impactful large-scale epidemiologic studies.
Our Team
We unite researchers with expertise in infectious diseases, critical care, healthcare epidemiology, biostatistics, emergency medicine, and data science.
