Proud to share our review of sociodemographic data reported in 409 Canadian-led adult critical care studies (~6M patients). Most reported age & sex, but far fewer reported other sociodemographic factors shaping who becomes critically ill and who benefits from the evidence. 🔗: tinyurl.com/mxsx4b87

Sepsis is a hospital emergency, but what if we focus on where it begins: the community? We highlight priorities to mitigate, monitor, measure, and manage sepsis in the community. Over 90% of cases start in the community, making a community-focused approach essential. Read the Viewpoint ⤵️
