Cognitive impairment and functional disability are major determinants of caregiving needs and societal healthcare costs. Although the incidence of severe sepsis is high and rising, especially among older adults, the magnitude of patients’ long-term cognitive and functional limitations after sepsis is unknown. Determine the change in cognitive impairment and physical functioning among patients who survive severe sepsis, controlling for their pre-sepsis functioning. Prospective cohort. The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) conducted interviews with a nationally representative cohort of older Americans every 2 years during 1998–2006. There were 9,223 HRS respondents with linked Medicare claims who had a baseline cognitive and functional assessment 1998–2004. 1,520 hospitalizations for severe sepsis occurred in 1,194 patients, as ascertained from Medicare claims linked to the HRS. Of this group, 516 individuals survived 623 episodes of severe sepsis and had at least 1 follow-up survey, and were analyzed here. A comparison group included 5,574 respondents who experienced a non-sepsis general hospitalization in the study period, of whom 4,517 survived to at least 1 follow-up survey for analysis here. None Personal interviews with respondents and proxies were used to assess cognitive impairment using the validated modified-TICS and IQCODE questionnaires. Disability was measured by the number of ADLs and IADLs for which patients needed assistance. We used within-person regression to identify the association of sepsis with changes in the trajectory of disability with up to 8 years of post-sepsis follow-up. Survivors’ mean age at hospitalization was 76.9 years. The prevalence of moderate/severe cognitive impairment increased 10.6 percentage points among patients who survived severe sepsis, an odds ratio of 3.33, (95% CI: 1.53, 7.25) in multivariable regression. Likewise, a high rate of new functional limitations was seen following sepsis in those with no limits before sepsis (mean 1.57 new limitations [95% CI: 0.99, 2.15], where no effect would be 0 new limitations) and in those with mild/moderate limitations before sepsis (mean 1.50 new limitations [95% CI: 0.87, 2.12]). In contrast, non-sepsis general hospitalizations were associated with no change in moderate/severe cognitive impairment (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 0.80, 1.67, differences versus sepsis p=0.012) and much smaller changes in functional limitations (mean 0.48 [95% CI: 0.39, 0.56] and 0.43 [95% CI: 0.23, 0.63] new limitations among those with no and mild/moderate limits before hospitalization, respectively; differences versus sepsis p<0.001 and p=0.001). The declines in cognitive and physical function persisted for up to 8 years of follow-up. Severe sepsis in this older population was independently associated with substantial and persistent new cognitive impairment and functional disability among survivors. The magnitude of these new deficits was large, likely resulting in a pivotal downturn in patients' ability to live independently. Identifying modifiable components of hospital and rehabilitation care to prevent these disabilities would be valuable for patients and their families.
