BACKGROUND: As hospital sepsis mortality has decreased, more surgical ICU survivors are progressing into chronic critical illness (CCI). This study documents the incidence of CCI and long-term outcomes of patients with abdominal sepsis. We hypothesized that patients developing CCI would have biomarker evidence of immune and metabolic derangement, with a high incidence of poor 1-year outcomes. METHODS: Review of abdominal sepsis patients entered in a prospective longitudinal study of surgical ICU sepsis. RESULTS: Of the 144 study patients, only 6% died early, 37% developed CCI (defined as ICU days ≥14 with organ dysfunction) and 57% were classified rapid recovery (RAP). Compared to RAP, CCI patients a) were older (66 vs 58), males who were sicker at baseline (Charlson Comorbidity Index 4 vs 2), b) had persistently elevated biomarkers of dysregulated immunity/metabolism (IL-6, IL-8, sPDL-1, GLP1), c) experienced more secondary infections (4.9 vs 2.3) and organ failure (Denver MOF frequency 40 vs 1%), d) were much more likely to have poor dispositions (85 vs 22%) with severe persistent disabilities by Zubrod Score and e) had a notably higher 1-year mortality of 42% (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Over 1/3rd surgical ICU patients treated for abdominal sepsis progress into CCI and experience dismal long-term outcomes.
