Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin d and the longitudinal risk of sepsis in the REGARDS cohort..
In this paper, researchers studied low baseline plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and its association with long-term risk of sepsis. Data from the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study was used. Findings reveals that, among community-dwelling US adults, low plasma 25(OH)D measured at a time of relative health was independently associated with increased risk of sepsis.

Frailty syndrome and risk of sepsis in the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) cohort.
This study examined the association between frailty (weakness, exhaustion, and low physical activity) and the risk of sepsis in stroke patients. Data from the cohort study Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) was used. There was an associated increase in sepsis hospitalizations and 30-day case fatalities from sepsis in stroke patients with more frailty indicators.

Racial disparities in sepsis-related in-hospital mortality: using a broad case capture method and multivariate controls for clinical and hospital variables, 2004-2013.
The objective of this study was to use a broad method of capturing sepsis cases to estimate 2004-2013 trends in in-hospital sepsis mortality rates by race/ethnicity. Mortality rates adjusted for patient characteristics were higher for all minority groups than for white patients. After adjusting for hospital characteristics, sepsis mortality rates in 2013 were similar for white, black, and Hispanic patients.
