Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is an observational registry study. Virtually all patients recieving care in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Sweden are reported to the Swedish ICU-registry (SIR) with base-line data, performed interventions and ICU relevant diagnoses, but this does not affect their care in any way.
The exposure is ICU care with sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock in the SIR during the years 2005 to 2016. All patients are followed from inclusion to 31st of december 2016 or Death, wichever comes first.
This means: No participant involvement. The paticipant is observed from ICU-admission until 31-dec-2016, death or recieving a diagosis of Dementia.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 320290 0
Time to Death from ICU-admission. Time of Death is assessed by audit of SIR data.
Timepoint [1] 320290 0
The primary ocutcome is assesed by review of SIR data when the registration-process with the ANZCTR is completed.
Secondary outcome [1] 374257 0
Cause of Death grouped according to the European short list. Cause of Death as assessed by audit of data from the National Death Registry of the Swedish board of Health and Welfare.
Timepoint [1] 374257 0
The secondary outcome is assesed by review of National Death Registry data when the registration-process with the ANZCTR is completed.

Statistical methods / analysis
This is a register study. The SIR includes (during the current time period) almost all general ICUs in Sweden, hence the sample is all but a few ICU episodes during the years of 2005 through 2016.
Mortality rate in the time intervalls 0 - 10 days , 11 - 30 days , 31 - 90 days , 91 days - 6 months, 6 months - 1 year, 1 - 3 years, 3 - 5 years, 5 – 7 years, 7 - 12 years stratified on sepsis or not during ICU care. will be explored by Kaplan-Meier figures. For the same time intervalls Cox-regression models will be fitted to explore factors, including sepsis, correlating with the hazard ratio for Death.
Cases of Death will be explored bu Chi2 test over the time intervalls mentioned above stratified on sesps or not during ICU care. An adjusted analysis in Cox-model will also be performed.

Summary
Brief summary
The risk of death in patients treated for sepsis the Intensive care unit (ICU) is high. The increased risk of death is persistent over years, however little is known about their long term risk of death when compared to patients treated for other causes in the ICU. Also little is known about the pattern on the causes of Death in ICU treated patients with and without sepsis.
Our hypothesis is that the long term causes of Death are different for individuals treated for sepsis in the ICU compared to individuals treated for other reasons in the ICU. This will be investigated in the Swedish ICU cohort during the years 2005 to 2016.
