Sepsis is a disability-inducing event, resulting in considerable financial burden for health care systems.1-3 An estimated 38 million patients survive sepsis each year,4 many of whom experience persisting health problems,1,5 including new or worsened physical,6 psychological,7,8 and cognitive6 impairments. Because of these sequelae, sepsis survivors often need ongoing nursing care and experience increased risk of death.9Keywords
