World Sepsis Day, 13 Sept 2024 : Raising Awareness, Saving Lives

Today, on World Sepsis Day, we join the global community in raising awareness about sepsis, a life-threatening condition that affects millions of people worldwide each year.

## What is Sepsis?

Sepsis occurs when the body's response to infection causes widespread inflammation, potentially leading to organ failure and death if not treated promptly. It can affect anyone, but it's most dangerous for infants, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems.

## Key Facts:

- Sepsis affects an estimated 49 million people worldwide each year
- At least 11 million people die from sepsis annually – that's one death every 2.8 seconds
- Sepsis is the leading cause of death in hospitals
- Many sepsis deaths are preventable with early recognition and treatment

## How You Can Help:

1. Learn the signs and symptoms of sepsis
2. Spread awareness by sharing information with friends and family
3. Support sepsis research and advocacy organizations
4. Encourage proper infection prevention practices in healthcare settings

Remember: Sepsis is a medical emergency. If you suspect sepsis, seek medical attention immediately. Early detection and treatment save lives.

Together, we can make a difference in the fight against sepsis. Let's work towards a world where no one dies from this preventable condition.

# 世界败血症日，2024年9月13日：提高认识，拯救生命

今天，在世界败血症日，我们与全球社区一起提高对脓毒症的认识，这是一种每年影响全球数百万人的危及生命的疾病。

## 什么是败血症？

败血症发生在身体对感染的反应导致广泛炎症时，如果不及时治疗，可能导致器官衰竭和死亡。它可以影响任何人，但对婴儿、老年人和免疫系统较弱的人最为危险。

## 关键事实：

- 每年全球估计有4900万人受败血症影响

- 每年至少有1100万人死于败血症– 平均每2.8秒就有一人死亡

- 败血症是医院中的主要死亡原因

- 许多败血症死亡案例通过早期识别和治疗是可以预防的

## 您可以如何帮助：

1. 了解败血症的症状和体征

2. 通过与朋友和家人分享信息来传播认识

3. 支持败血症研究和倡导组织

4. 鼓励在医疗环境中采取适当的感染预防措施

请记住：败血症是医疗紧急情况。如果您怀疑败血症，请立即就医。早期发现和治疗可以挽救生命。

让我们携手共同努力，在对抗败血症的战斗中产生影响。让我们为创造一个没有人死于这种可预防疾病的世界而努力。

COVID-19 severity and Inflammation - The New Insight

The COVID-19 disease progression which is not different from sepsis model. A recent publication From the journal Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM) https://doi.org/10.1515/cclm-2020-1761 showed that 70-90% patients had hypoinflammation instead of full blown hyperinflammation which is only 10-30% in stage 3-5. A full cytokine storm manifestation of COVID-19 sepsis is uncommon, but it is more like a cytokine "breeze".

Adapted from Cytokine “storm”, cytokine “breeze”, or both in COVID-19?

Link: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/cclm-2020-1761/html

Lippi, Giuseppe and Plebani, Mario. "Cytokine “storm”, cytokine “breeze”, or both in COVID-19?" Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), vol. 59, no. 4, 2021, pp. 637-639. https://doi.org/10.1515/cclm-2020-1761

Based on this study finding, we, Malaysia Sepsis Alliance proposes a model of COVID-19 according to this finding.

According to this new insight, high dose steroid administration for COVID-19 patients shall be highly selected and shall not recommended to majority of COVID-19 patients who more likely to be hypoinflammatory hypoxia ('Silent Hypoxia') (Hui-chin et al 2021)
