Abstract:
We defined the epidemiology of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in critically ill patients, and evaluated the procession from SIRS to MODS and the therapeutic strategies. 230 patients were studied prospectively until discharge or death. On admission, the morbidity rate of SIRS was 71.3%. The mortality rate of the patients with SIRS was 18.9%. MODS was developed in 65 patients (28.3%), and 33 patients dided (50.8%). In SIRS patients with non-infectious SIRS, sepsis and septic shock, the morbidity rates of MODS were 22.8%, 61.1% and 85.7%, and the mortality rates were 11.4%, 30.6% and 50.0% respectively. The outcome of critically ill patients may be improved if SIRS is early diagnosed and the body inflammatory response is reglulated properly.
