Systematic Review of Gender ‐ dependent outcomes in sepsis
ConclusionsAlthough results of data syntheses appear to point towards a small disadvantage for survival among women, our results suggest that data on the impact of sex on sepsis outcomes remain equivocal. Implications for future research include approaches to adjustment for confounders and prospective designs.
Relevance to clinical practiceClarifying sex‐related differences in sepsis, if any, is crucial for informing evidence‐based care.
