We used the Sepsis Occurrence in Acutely ill Patients SOAP database to investigate differences in the impact of respiratory tract and abdominal sites of infection on organ failure and survival. Methods The SOAP study was a cohort multicenter observational study which included data from all adult patients admitted to one of 198 participating intensive care units ICUs from 24 European countries during the study period. In this substudy patients were divided into two groups depending on whether on admission they had abdominal infection but no respiratory infection or respiratory infection but no abdominal infection. The two groups were compared with respect to patient and infection-related characteristics organ failure patterns and outcomes. Results Of the 3 147 patients in the SOAP database 777 25 patients had sepsis on ICU admission 162 21 had abdominal infection without concurrent respiratory infection and 380 49 had respiratory infection without concurrent abdominal infection. Age sex and severity scores were similar in the two groups. On admission septic shock was more common in patients with abdominal infection vs. P who were also more likely to have early coagulation failure vs. P and acute renal failure vs. P . In contrast patients with respiratory infection were more liKely to have early neurological failure vs. P . The median length of ICU stay
