This study revealed the lack of available SDoH data in electronic health records. Despite no association between the SDoH variables available and sepsis, we found a higher rate of sepsis cases and sepsis deaths among individuals living in systematically disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Including SDoH in electronic health records is crucial to study their effect on the risk of sepsis and to provide equitable care.
