The median age was 64.0 years (IQR, 60.5-68.0) and 65.5 years (IQR, 49.3-77.3) for patients of SARS-CoV-2-induced sepsis and bacterial sepsis, respectively (Additional file 1). 8.0 (IQR, 6.5-9.5), P < 0.001] were consistently higher among patients with bacterial sepsis than those with SARS-CoV-2-induced sepsis. In this study, ICU patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced sepsis and those with bacterial sepsis revealed comparable demographic characteristics, like age, gender distribution, and comorbidities, after rigorous screening processes. However, patients with bacterial sepsis were found with more severe organ dysfunction and poor outcomes when compared with those caused by SARS-CoV-2-induced sepsis, including higher values in SOFA and APACHE II, as well as more ICU deaths. This is the first report that compared clinical features and host responses between bacterial and SARS-CoV-2-induced viral sepsis. Baseline characteristics of critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2-and bacteria-induced sepsis. ./cache/cord-327138-l2m2g0v8.txt ./txt/cord-327138-l2m2g0v8.txt
