Sepsis Outcomes Research

败血症是澳大利亚人群住院和ICU入院的主要原因，每年有超过15700例新发病例。在澳大利亚，每年有3000多人死于败血症，这比每年的全国公路通行费和乳腺癌、前列腺癌或结直肠癌还要多。这项研究概述了类固醇和维生素D对改善脓毒症患者恢复的影响，并了解他们在脓毒症中生存能力的遗传基础。

Sepsis is a major cause of hospitalization and ICU admission in Australia population corresponding to more than 15700 new cases each year. Every year more than 3000 people die from sepsis in Australia which is greater than the annual national road toll and breast, prostate or colorectal cancer. The research outlined in this proposal to study the effect of steroids and vitamin D to improve patient’s recovery from sepsis and also understand the genetic basis behind their ability to survive sepsis.
