Abstract
Objective: To assess certain characteristics and factors related to mortality in septic shock patients with reduced white blood cell count. Subject and method: A retrospective study, cross-sectional in design, was conducted on 27 patients with septic shock and reduced white blood cell count at the Intensive Care Center - 108 Military Central Hospital from 2021 to 2022. The diagnosis of septic shock was based on the criteria of Sepsis-3 (2016). Data were collected on characteristics such as infection sources, laboratory tests, and in- hospital mortality. Result: The average age in the study group was 68.2 years, with males accounting for 88.9% and the mortality rate was 81.5%. APACHE II, SOFA, and SAPS 2 scores were significantly higher in the deceased group compared to the surviving group. Reduced platelet count and decreased serum albumin levels were associated with mortality in septic shock patients with reduced white blood cell count.
