Summary

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by a dysregulated host response to infection, leading to tissue damage, multiple organ dysfunction (MODS), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and high mortality. Despite its global significance, robust epidemiological data from low- and middle-income countries, including Turkey, remain limited. This multicenter, two-timepoint point-prevalence study aims to determine the prevalence of sepsis and septic shock in adult intensive care units (ICUs) across Turkey and to evaluate associated clinical outcomes.The study will be conducted between September 2025 and January 2026 in adult ICUs nationwide. Sepsis and septic shock will be defined according to the 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines. Detailed data will be collected on participating ICUs, clinicians, patient demographics, comorbidities, infection characteristics, organ dysfunction, laboratory findings, and treatments. Patients will be followed for 30 days to assess ICU length of stay, discharge status, mortality, and ventilator- and vasopressor-free days.The primary objective is to determine the point prevalence of sepsis and septic shock in Turkish ICUs. The secondary objective is to evaluate 30-day mortality among patients with sepsis and septic shock. The findings are expected to provide crucial epidemiological insights and help improve sepsis management strategies in Turkey.
