Notwithstanding the definition we choose, sepsis-associated short-term and long-term mortality and morbidity remain a major public health concern. From a high-income country perspective, the half-full glass (as shown by a sustained decline in mortality^1,2) is counterbalanced by the half-empty glass in which the high burden of long-term cognitive and functional decline seen in survivors of long-term sepsis³ is increasingly recognised. However, in low-income and middle-income countries, the growing evidence base obtained from recent epidemiological studies of sepsis leaves us far from optimistic.

尽管我们选择了定义，但败血症相关的短期和长期死亡率和发病率仍然是主要的公共卫生问题。从高收入国家的角度来看，半满的玻璃杯（如死亡率^1,2的持续下降所表明）与半空的玻璃杯相抵消，半透明的玻璃杯中幸存者长期认知和功能下降的负担很重长期败血症^3的概念已得到越来越多的认识。但是，在低收入和中等收入国家，从最近的脓毒症流行病学研究获得的越来越多的证据基础使我们远非乐观。
