UK has the highest sepsis death rates for women

UK has the highest sepsis death rates for women Sepsis death rates in Britain are five times higher than the best performing country in Europe, a new study suggests.

A scientific analysis of 36 rich nations ranked the UK as being the worst for women and it placed near the bottom of the table for men.

There are 35.4 deaths from sepsis - a violent immune response to an infection - for every 100,000 women and 40.3 for every 100,000 men in the UK.

The US ranked seventh worst for women - but avoided being named as one of the ten biggest offenders in men. The Daily Mail
