Core Tip	In the past, there were different reports on mortality of sepsis, and few studies on the prognosis of patients with sepsis after surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic factors of patients with sepsis who were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) after gastrointestinal surgery. This study retrospectively screened patients who underwent the gastrointestinal tumor surgery at the Peking University Cancer Hospital from January, 2015 to December, 2019. Among them, 181 patients who were diagnosed with sepsis in ICU were enrolled in our study. In multiple analysis, we found that body mass index ≤ 20 kg/m2, lactic acid after ICU admission and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score within 24 h after ICU admission were independent risk predictors on the prognosis of sepsis after gastrointestinal tumor surgery in ICU. Compared with SOFA score, SOFA score combined with body mass index and lactic acid might get higher predictive ability (area under the receiver operating characteristic, 0.859; 95% confidence interval, 0.789-0.929).
