An early assessment of individual patient risk factors may be beneficial in the care and treatment of VO to help reduce the risks of mortality. These findings emphasize the importance of closely monitoring VO patients with chronic organ diseases, early detection and treatment of sepsis, and tailored empirical antibiotic therapy. The identification of specific pathogens and antibiotic susceptibility testing should be prioritized to improve patient outcomes in this high-risk population.
