3.2. Mortality stratified by age group, gender and regionThe age-specific mortality curves had two peaks in theneonatal-pediatric and the older subpopulations (Figure 2). Asharp decline after one year of age and a sharp rise after 70 years ofage could be observed in both the 2003 and the 2007 periods.Between 2003 and 2007, the sepsis mortality among the elderlydecreased by approximately half in 2007, but in the <1 year of agesubgroup it increased by up to 5 fold (Figure 2). The Friedman testshowed significant differences between major cities, small andmedium-sized cities, and rural areas in both 2003 (p<0.001) and2007 (p=0.008).In Figure 3, those aged between 1 and 54 years mostly hadlower mortality rates than the national average. There were nosignificant differences between males and females (p>0.05)between any region or time period. Between 2003 and 2007, thesepsis related death decreased significantly in rural males(p=0.033) and females (p=0.005), as well as in males in the smalland medium-sized cities (p=0.039), but no significant changeswere found in major cities (p>0.05). Interestingly, the dramaticimprovement in small and medium-sized cities exceeded theimprovements observed in both the rural males (p=0.012) andfemales (p=0.017).
