A new publication in Critical Care Explorations highlights the critical relationship between endotoxin activity, organ failure, and mortality in septic shock.

- Prevalence of ESS
Endotoxic septic shock (ESS), defined as EAA = 0.6 combined with SOFA > 11 or MODS > 9, was present in 21 patients (23.3%) of the cohort.

- Mortality Rates
ESS patients had a 28-day mortality rate of 57.1%, compared to 15.9% in non-ESS patients.

- Association with the d Phenotype
The high-risk d phenotype was found in 33.3% of ESS patients versus 5.8% of non-ESS patients (p = 0.001). Importantly, the majority (63.6%) of all d phenotype patients in the study also had ESS.

- Relative Risk of Death
The relative risk of death for ESS patients was 3.58 (95% CI, 1.86–6.91), meaning patients with ESS were over 3.5 times more likely to die compared with non-ESS patients.

In summary: This study demonstrates that ESS identifies a high-risk subgroup of septic shock patients with markedly higher mortality and a strong association with the lethal d phenotype.
