Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy

• Total nationwide inpatient annual costs of treating those hospitalized for septicemia have been rising and were estimated to be $14.6 billion in 2008.
• Even with this expenditure, the death rate was high.
• Patients who do survive severe cases are more likely to have negative long-term effects on health and on cognitive and physical functioning.
