Therefore, this study aims to screen the risk factors and establish a useful predictive nomogram for SAE in elderly patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patients and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Elderly patients (age \u2265 65 years) with sepsis were selected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database. Data from demographics and laboratory examinations were collected on the first day of admission to the ICU. SAE was defined by two criteria in the presence of sepsis: \u2460 a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of &amp;lt; 15 or \u2461 delirium. Differences in demographics and laboratory tests were calculated between SAE and non-SAE groups. Participants were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set without replacement at a ratio of 6:4. A predictive nomogram was constructed in the training set by logistic regression analysis and then validated. The predictive capability of the nomogram was demonstrated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and calibration curve analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 22,361 patients were selected, of which 2,809 patients (12.7%) died in the hospital and 8,290 patients (37.1%) had SAE. In-hospital mortality in the SAE group was higher than that in the non-SAE group (18.8 vs. 8.9%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001).
