Incidence and Trends of Sepsis in US Hospitals Using Clinical vs Claims Data, 2009-2014 JAMA
- More sepsis deaths in those entering hospital with low vitamin D – Jan 2014
- Sepsis: 4 fewer days in ICU if add Omega-3 – meta-analysis of 12 RCT – June 2017
- Sepsis is 13 X more likely if poor Vitamin D Receptor – April 2017
Sepsis is both prevented and treated by Vitamin D - many studies in VitaminDWiki starts with
- Sepsis is more likely in those with poor immune systems
Infants, the elderly, the sick, and those with low vitamin D - Severe sepsis has been associated with low Vitamin D and poor Vitamin D receptor in many studies
- Loading doses of Vitamin D bypass any poor Vitamin D Receptors
- Vitamin D loading doses have been proven to treat sepsis (RCTs: 2015, 2020, 2021)
Reduced: ICU stay by 8 days, Hospital stay by 7 days, and readmission rate reduced to 0%

Conclusions and Relevance
In clinical data from 409 hospitals, sepsis was present in 6% of adult hospitalizations, and in contrast to claims-based analyses, neither the incidence of sepsis nor the combined outcome of death or discharge to hospice changed significantly between 2009-2014. The findings also suggest that EHR-based clinical data provide more objective estimates than claims-based data for sepsis surveillance.
