Introduction

Project Overview

Our goals are to: 1) examine the social and health determinants of racial disparities in sepsis mortality; 2) test the hypothesis that socioeconomic factors, health behaviors and health status will explain the racial disparity in sepsis mortality; and 3) examine if healthcare utilization is associated with decreased sepsis mortality in fully adjusted multivariate, multivariable models. We will use Cox Proportional Hazards modeling strategies to examine and rank the effects of each socioeconomic and health variable on all-cause and cause-specific age- and sex-adjusted mortality. Then each variable will be assessed for its confounding and/or mediation effects the Black race risk ratio for all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Finally, these analyses will inform the development of multivariate, multivariable models. The results will fill a critical knowledge gap in the field of sepsis epidemiology by providing the first and largest nation-level longitudinal cohort study examining the risk factors for sepsis mortality and the racial disparity in sepsis mortality. This will address an important US public health concern by potentially identifying modifiable risk factors for this prevalent disease.

Dataset

We utilize the 1999-2005 National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS) linked at the individual-level to outcomes in the National Death Index (NDI), years 1999-2011. The outcomes of interest in this analysis is combined septicemia and influenza/pneumonia mortality, defined using the National Vital Statistics ICD-10 coding schema. these codes can occur in any position on the death record. The competing outcome of interest is ‘other cause’ mortality, deinfed as any death without an ICD-10 code for septicemia, influenza or pneumonia among the listed caused odeath on the death record.

Bivariate Analyses by Mortality Status

This report presents the results of a bivaraite analyses by mortality status. All statistics are computed using the SAS 9.2 SURVEY family of procedures and account for the weighted, complex, multi-stage survey design of the NHIS. Missing observations are treated as missing “not completely at random”
