In the general population, the incidence of sepsis is two people in 10,000. The number of deaths from sepsis each year has almost doubled in the United States since 1980 because more patients are developing the condition.

Sepsis can affect individuals of all ages, but the highest risk groups include older adults, infants, individuals with weakened immune systems, and those with chronic medical conditions such as Diabetes or kidney disease. Men are slightly more likely to develop sepsis than women, and it can affect people of any race or ethnicity.
