Understanding and improving outcomes due to Sepsis in at-risk and underserved populations

败血症是因感染而发生的危及生命的器官衰竭。每年有1900万成年人患败血症，600万人死亡。我的研究将测量澳大利亚老年人和新妈妈（澳大利亚和越南）的败血症风险因素和频率。我将测量败血症的长期影响，以更好地了解败血症如何影响幸存者及其家人。我将制定和实施相关的、文化上合适的、以证据为基础的战略，以减少败血症。

Sepsis is life-threatening organ failure that occurs in response to infection. Each year, 19 million adults suffer from sepsis and 6 million die. My research will measure sepsis risk factors and frequency in ageing Australians and new mothers (Australia and Vietnam). I will measure the long term impact of sepsis to better understand how sepsis impacts survivors and their families. I will develop and implement relevant, culturally appropriate and evidence-based strategies to reduce sepsis.
