Understanding and improving outcomes due to Sepsis in at-risk and underserved populations [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Sepsis is life-threatening organ failure that occurs in response to infection. Each year, 19 million adults suffer from sepsis and 6 million die. My research will measure sepsis risk factors and frequency in ageing Australians and new mothers (Australia and Vietnam). I will measure the long term impact of sepsis to better understand how sepsis impacts survivors and their families. I will develop and implement relevant, culturally appropriate and evidence-based strategies to reduce sepsis.
