cord-347833-b3yrxkt0	Ahlström, Björn	A nationwide study of the long-term prevalence of dementia and its risk factors in the Swedish intensive care cohort	2020-09-04		.txt	text/plain	4339	229	54	We aimed to investigate whether intensive care-treated sepsis is an independent risk factor for a later diagnosis of dementia in a large cohort of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. CONCLUSION: Although dementia is more common among patients treated with sepsis in the ICU, sepsis was not an independent risk factor for later dementia in the Swedish national critical care cohort. The following covariates were chosen from available variables through directed acyclic graph analysis and a literature review: sepsis; age [1] and sex, all of which have been previously described as independent risk factors for dementia [33] ; CCI; SAPS3 box 2+3; hospital length of stay (H-LoS); ICU-LoS; invasive ventilator therapy; and RRT. However, after adjusting for age, sex, CCI score, SAPS3 box 2+3, H-LoS, ICU-LoS, invasive ventilator therapy, and RRT, sepsis was no longer an independent risk factor for dementia (HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.91-1.11) (Fig. 4) 	./cache/cord-347833-b3yrxkt0.txt	./txt/cord-347833-b3yrxkt0.txt
