Review

Race, Ethnicity, and Gender Disparities in Management and Outcomes of Critically Ill Adults with Sepsis.

Critical care pathologies are not immune to potential social challenges in both health equity and health disparities. Over the last century, as sepsis physiology and interventions have continued to improve clinical outcomes, recognition that such improvements are not seen in all diverse populations warrants an understanding of this disproportionate success. In this review, the authors evaluate sepsis incidence and outcomes across ethnicity, race, and sex and gender, taking into account social and biological categorization and the association of sepsis-related mortality and morbidity. Further, the authors review how such issues transcend across age groups, with vulnerability to sepsis.
