Vitamin C for #sepsis
Marik et al: Retrospective before–after study (2017): n 47
Hydrocortisone, Vit C & thiamine vs controls:
* Hosp mortality: 8.5% vs 40.4%
* SOFA decreased with none in Vit C group developing organ failure
How has data panned out since?

VITAMINS RCT @JAMANetwork 2020:
IV Vit C, hydrocortisone & thiamine (n 109) vs hydrocortisone (n 107) alone in #Sepsis

ACTS RCT @JAMANetwork 2020:
Vit C, hydrocortisone & thiamine Q 6 hours (n 103) vs placebo (n 102) x 4 days in matching volumes at the same time points.
No statistically significant reduction in SOFA score during the first 72 hours after enrollment.
Note the adverse effects:
