Objective – Analyze the number of deaths associated to sepsis occurred in the São Vicente de Paulo Charity Hospital (HSPV) between 2012 and 2016. Compare the number of deaths due to general causes and by sepsis. Identify the most frequent infectious agent and the most used antibiotic. Identify the clinical characteristics of patients and the circumstances of sepsis. Methods – We estimated the number of deaths associated with sepsis in patients admitted in the HSVP in the period. The numbers of deaths due to general causes were compared with deaths from sepsis. The most frequent infectious agents, the most commonly used antibiotics, the characteristics of the patients and the circumstances of sepsis also were investigated. The data were collected through the MV 2000i Gestão Hospitalar system version 4.9.0 and also analysis of electronic medical records. Results– The comparison of number of deaths revealed 7.712 deaths by general causes and 491 by sepsis. It was not possible to identify the most present infectious agent in sepsis, and the most used antibiotic was Ceftriaxone. The mean age was 75 years with predominance of males and patients over 60 years age. The majority of deaths occurred due to causes such as pathologies and inflammatory conditions. The medical specialty with the highest number of deaths was the Medical Clinic, and among the hospitalizations that evolved to death, the great majority occurred through the SUS. Conclusion – The mortality in HSVP was smaller than other hospitals. The implementation of protocols and training promotes the early detection of sepsis.
