Prognosis

Mortality

Shock has a high mortality but this is dependent on cause. Hospital mortality of septic shock is as high as 62%.[8][9] 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 50% to 60%.[10][11] A high proportion of these deaths (70% to 80%) occur in the first 30 to 60 days after onset of cardiogenic shock.[15]
