Association of Electrocardiogram Abnormalities with Clinical Outcomes in Emergency Department Sepsis Patients

This study aimed to identify common electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities in sepsis patients presenting to the emergency department and analyze their association with poor clinical outcomes, such as ICU admission, prolonged hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality. The findings revealed that certain ECG patterns, including atrial fibrillation/flutter and QT prolongation, were significantly more prevalent in patients with adverse outcomes, suggesting that ECG assessments could enhance early risk identification and management of sepsis in the emergency setting.
