Abstract Introduction To evaluate the impact of recent evidence-based treatments for severe sepsis in routine clinical care requires an understanding of the underlying epidemiology particularly with regard to trends over time. We interrogated a high quality clinical database to examine trends in the incidence and mortality of severe sepsis over a nine-year period. Methods Admissions with severe sepsis occurring at any time within 24 hours of admission to critical care were identified to an established methodology using raw physiological data from the Intensive Care National Audit Research Centre ICNARC Case Mix Programme Database containing data from 343 860 admissions to 172 adult general critical care units in England Wales and Northern Ireland between December 1995 and January 2005. Generalised linear models were used to assess changes in the incidence case mix outcomes and activity of these .
