Open Access Abstract Introduction Sepsis is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. The National Center for Health Statistics multiple-cause-of-death MCOD dataset is a large publicly available population-based source of information on disease burden in the United States. We have analysed MCOD data from 1999 to 2005 to investigate trends assess disparities and provide population-based estimates of sepsis-associated mortality during this period. Methods Sepsis-associated deaths occurring in the United States from 1999 to 2005 were identified in MCOD data using International Classification of Disease 10th Revision ICD-10 codes. Population-based mortality rates were calculated using bridged-race population estimates from the National Center for Health Statistics. Comparisons across age sex and racial ethnic groups were achieved by calculating mortality rate ratios. Results From 1999 to 2005 .
