Fluoroquinolone antibiotics were the most frequently used (118 patients, 10.83%). 140 deceased patients had a SOFA score range of 10-11, with no significant difference (P 0.35). The highest mortality was observed in patients >65 years old (31.43%) and males (57.14%), often associated with respiratory diseases.
