This study aimed to determine whether DVT compared with PAOD patients would increase the risk of sepsis. This study recruited 43,535 patients newly diagnosed as having PAOD and 6932 patients who were newly diagnosed as having DVT from a population of 2 million patients from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database. Propensity score matching (PSM) between the PAOD and DVT groups was performed for age, sex, comorbidities, and prior antibiotic administration. A total of 4383 patients with PAOD and 4383 patients with DVT were analyzed for risk of sepsis. The incidence density of sepsis per 1000 person years for patients with PAOD was 25.75 (95% CI = 23.90 to 27.74) and 35.61 (95% CI = 33.29 to 38.09) for patients with DVT. After age, sex, associated comorbidities, and antibiotic administration were adjusted for, the risk of sepsis for the DVT group was 1.46-fold (95% CI = 1.32\u20131.62) higher than that for the PAOD group. In conclusion, patients with DVT were associated with a higher risk of subsequent sepsis than patients with PAOD. Aging was another risk factor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19116710","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T05:25:42Z","timestamp":1653974742000},"page":"6710","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association of Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease and Deep Venous Thrombosis with Risk of Consequent Sepsis Event: A Retrospective Population-Based Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3135-0655","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo-Yuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5888-4302","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ying-Hsiang","family":"Chou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medical Imaging and Radiological Sciences, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chi-Tzu","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0365-7927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shun-Fa","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medical Research, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6312-4161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shu-Ling","family":"Tzeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medical Research, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4937-6119","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu-Hsun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Research, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ming-Chih","family":"Chou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3978-5576","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chao-Bin","family":"Yeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4872-5791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chi-Ho","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Research, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 402, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 402, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.23736\/S0392-9590.18.03897-X","article-title":"Peripheral arterial occlusive disease and perioperative risk","volume":"37","author":"Poredos","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int.
