Relationship between seven major sites of infection and in-hospital mortality among all patients with severe sepsis (n = 952), and those with (n = 613) and without (n = 339) septic shock using logistic regression models. Data were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, ADL, admission sources, CCI, presence of shock, and organ-specific SOFA scores. ADL, activities of daily living; BMI, body mass index; CCI, Charlson comorbidity index; CI, confidence interval; CNS, central nervous system; SOFA, sepsis-related organ failure assessment
