Objective.-To determine whether the severity of septic encephalopathy is correlated with gram-negative bacteremia and mortality and whether there exists a single or combination of metabolic derangement(s) that cause septic encephalopathy.Design and Setting.-Prospective case series in an academic medical center.Patients.-Fifty patients selected according to clinical and laboratory criteria for severe sepsis. The criteria included temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and hypotension and/or signs of systemic hypoperfusion.Main Outcome Measures.-A single or combination of metabolic and laboratory derangements and organ failures, three different methods to grade the severity of septic encephalopathy, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scores, gram-negative bacteremia and infection, and mortality.Results.-Encephalopathy was associated with an increase in mortality when graded by the Glasgow Coma Score; a score of 15 had 16% mortality, 13 to 14 had 20%, 9 to 12 had 50%, and 3 to 8 had 63% mortality (P
