In septic shock, how does delay in commencement of antimicrobial therapy correlate with mortality? Kumar et al. conducted a pivotal observational study to determine the impact of delayed antimicrobial therapy in patients with septic shock. The study found that each hour of delayed antimicrobial therapy after the onset of hypotension significantly increased the risk of death. The critical finding was that the duration of hypotension before starting effective therapy was the most important factor determining survival, highlighting the urgent need for timely administration of antibiotics in septic shock to improve patient outcome.
