SepsisFLAGS ( FLuidAndGender)

In this single-center study the investigators will analyze gender differences among patients with suspected sepsis admitted to the Emergency Department at Södersjukhuset during a period of two years. About 11 000 patients will be included. Patient data including fluid therapy will be drawn from the electronic medical record; Take Care and Clinisoft. In the logistic regression analysis, the investigators will adjust for age, gender, comorbidities, vital signs, preliminary focus of infection, level of care and renal replacement therapy. The aim is to analyze gender differences in fluid treatment and the response to fluid treatment and if the treatment is associated with differences in mortality.
