Prognosis

Mortality

Shock has a high mortality but this is dependent on cause. Septic shock has case-fatality rates of 40% to 50%, reaching up to 80%.[73] The odds of dying from a myocardial infarction increase by over 20-fold when it is complicated by shock. Hospital mortality of cardiogenic shock reaches around 60%.[9][10][78] Of these deaths, 70% to 80% occur in the first 30 to 60 days after onset of cardiogenic shock.[14]
