<unk>  will prove fatal in approximately 24.4% of people, and septic shock will prove fatal in 34.7% of people within 30 days (32.2% and 38.5% after 90 days). Lactate is a useful method of determining prognosis, with those who have a level greater than 4 mmol/L having a mortality of 40% and those with a level of less than 2 mmol/L having a mortality of less than 15%. There are a number of prognostic stratification systems, such as APACHE II and Mortality in Emergency Department<unk> . APACHE II factors in the person's age, underlying condition, and various physiologic variables to yield estimates of the risk of dying of severe<unk> . Of the individual covariates, the severity of the underlying disease most strongly influences the risk of death. Septic shock is also a strong predictor of short- and long-term mortality. Case-fatality rates are similar for culture-positive and culture-negative severe<unk> . The Mortality in Emergency Department<unk>  (MEDS) score is simpler and useful in the emergency department environment. Some people may experience severe long-term cognitive decline following an episode of severe<unk> , but the absence of baseline neuropsychological data in most people with<unk>  makes the incidence of this difficult to quantify or to study.
