Nationwide trends and disparities in deaths following cardiogenic shock and sepsis in the United States (1999-2023): insights from the CDC WONDER database.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCardiogenic shock (CS) with sepsis is a highly fatal condition, yet national mortality trends and demographic disparities in these co-occurring conditions remain poorly characterized.
methodsWe analyzed CDC WONDER Multiple Cause of Death data (1999-2023) to identify adult deaths involving both CS and sepsis. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs), crude mortality rates (CMRs), average annual percent change (AAPC), and annual percent change (APC) by period were calculated and stratified by sex, race, age, census region, urbanization, and state.
resultsFrom 1999 to 2023, 59,898 deaths were recorded, overwhelmingly in inpatient medical facilities (94.61%). The national AAMR rose from 0.65 (1999) to 2.01 (2023), with an overall AAPC of 5.39 (95% CI: 4.24-6.56, p < 0.001). Mortality was higher in males (AAMR: 1.28; AAPC: 5.20) compared to females (AAMR: 0.78; AAPC: 5.35). NH Black or African American individuals had the highest AAMR (1.69), followed by Hispanic (0.98), and NH White (0.93). Older adults had the greatest CMR (3.51), compared with middle-aged (0.77) and young adults (0.12). By region, AAMR was highest in the South (1.06) and Northeast (1.05), lower in the Midwest (0.84), and lowest in the West (0.10). Non-metropolitan areas had higher AAMR (0.89; AAPC: 6.34) compared with metropolitan areas (0.86; AAPC: 4.78). States with the highest burden included Rhode Island, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Connecticut.
conclusionMortality from CS with sepsis increased significantly over two decades, with pronounced disparities across sex, race, age, and geography. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted national strategies.
