Bristol: A new one Reports It has been reported that hundreds of children die every year due to sepsis.
Sepsis is a condition in which the human body becomes overactive while fighting an infection, causing dangerously low blood pressure and organ failure.
According to the National Child Mortality Database, around one in six children in the UK have died from infections in the last three years.
Sepsis was reported in about half of the 1507 deaths due to infection. But according to experts, chances are that most of the deaths are due to the condition, which is usually not diagnosed correctly.
Antibiotics can cure the infection if the problem is diagnosed early. But if it’s not treated in time, doctors can’t do much to stop the infection from spreading.
According to experts from the University of Bristol, children with this hidden problem were more likely to die, and this was true for black, Asian and Pakistani children as well.
According to the report’s authors, children from poor backgrounds were twice as likely to die as children from well-off backgrounds. While deaths were more common in cities than in rural areas.
Children with literacy problems had a higher risk of death. Among children between the ages of five and 17, the death rate was 67 percent. While more than a third of deaths were found to have controllable factors, which means that these children could have died.
