Exposure was defined as sepsis hospitalization before 18\u2005years of age. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios for long-term mortality, with adjustments for age and comorbidities. Logistic regression was used to compare the prevalence of diseases in the groups during follow-up. Socioeconomic outcome in terms of education level, unemployment, and disability pension was compared with logistic regression at 20, 25, and 30\u2005years of age. The study was set in Sweden, 1 January 1987 to 31 December 2022.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the first 5\u2005years of follow-up, the sepsis cohort had higher mortality, with a hazard ratio of 1.17 (95% CI, 1.11\u20131.22), adjusted for age and comorbidities.
