Objective To investigate the effects of the pre-shock state on the mortality of patients with sepsis.Methods We enrolled patients with sepsis admitted to the medical intensive care unit of a tertiary care university hospital. These patients were then classified into three groups: sepsis, pre-shock state,and septic shock. The primary outcome was the 28-day mortality rate. The secondary outcomes were the 90-day, 180-day, and 1-year mortality rates.Results A total of 303 patients(groups: sepsis 135 [44.6%]), pre-shock state(93 [30.7%]), and septic shock(75 [24.8%]) completed the 1-year follow-up. The mortality rates at 28 days, 90 days, and 180days and 1 year were significantly higher in the pre-shock state group than those of the sepsis group,but significantly lower than those in the septic shock group, especially among older patients. When compared with the pre-shock state group, the sepsis group had significantly lower mortality risks at 28days, 90 days, and 180 days and 1 year, whereas the sepsis shock group had higher mortality risks at these time points.Conclusion The mortality rates of patients in the pre-shock state were notably different from those of patients with sepsis or septic shock. The introduction of a modified sepsis severity classification, which includes sepsis, pre-shock state, and septic shock, could offer valuable additional prognostic information.
