- Study evaluates sex-specific differences in 28-day mortality among young adults (18-55 years) with septic shock.
- Used a large propensity score-matched cohort from the TriNetX network, analyzing 100,894 young adults.
- After matching, 86,748 patients (43,374 males and 43,374 females) were included.
- 28-day mortality rate was lower in young women compared to men (15.3% vs. 16.6%).
- Similar lower mortality rates in women were observed for 90-day and 180-day mortality.
- Findings suggest sex-related differences in septic shock mortality, warranting further studies.
