Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 1.7 million adults in America develop sepsis each year. Sepsis and septic shock cause approximately 270,000 deaths annually, have fatality rates of 30% to 50% in older patients, and are estimated to cost more than 30 billion dollars each year. The incidence of infections that result in sepsis continues to rise with the increased incidence of antibiotic-resistant organisms along with the increased use of immunosuppressive drugs, intravenous and urinary catheters, and prosthetic implants.
