Of these, there were 444 928 patients who met the Angus definition of sepsis, treated in hospitals for which air pollution data were available. The cohort had an overall mortality of 11.2%. After adjustment for severity of sepsis, increasing exposure to ozone pollution was associated with increased risk of mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 1.04 for each 0.01 ppm increase, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.05; P &lt; .01). Particulate matter was not associated with mortality (OR: 0.99 for each 5 \u00b5g\/m\n                      <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                      increase, 95% CI: 0.97-1.01; P = .28). When stratified by sepsis source, ozone pollution had a higher impact on patients with pneumonia (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.04-1.08; P &lt; .01) compared to those patients without pneumonia (OR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.03; P &lt; .01).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Exposure to increased levels of ozone but not particulate air pollution was associated with higher risk of mortality in patients with sepsis.
