Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients exposed to sepsis or septic shock will be monitored for thiamine deficiency. Therefore transketolase levels will be measured at 4 timepoints to determine (relative) thiamine deficiency. Also lactate levels will be observed in each patient, to review any relationship between thiamine deficiency and lactate levels.

OR
Septic shock, defined as sepsis and persistent hypotension despite adequate fluid resuscitation, as seen by:
1. Vasopressors required to maintain MAP greater than or equal to 65 mmHg
AND

Statistical methods / analysis
Individual variables will be summarised by mean (SD), median (IQR) or count (%) as indicated. Thiamine levels will be reported as absolute levels at measured time points, and as relative change in concentration across the 72 hour period. Univariate analysis will be conducted to measure association between thiamine concentration, physiological variables and lactate concentrations, with statistically significant results being used to conduct multivariate analysis. Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS 24 and/or StataMP 15 software.
