Low socioeconomic status or lack of health insurance could be indicators that a baby is more likely to die of sepsis according to a study by UTMB’s Ravi S. Radhakrishnan. He presented his findings at the
2016 Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons. "This nationwide study was done to determine whether sociodemographic factors may help us identify patients who are at high risk for sepsis so that we can intervene and improve outcomes," Radhakrishnan said.
