Four Clinical Phenotypes Identified for Sepsis
Four distinct clinical phenotypes have been identified among patients with sepsis.
Sepsis
Skin Cultures May Aid in Prediction of Bloodstream Infection Pathogens
Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa skin cultures may help to predictthe pathogens involved in bloodstream infections.
Model Can Predict Sepsis Risk for Emergency Medical Admissions
Computer-aided National Early Warning Score model model accurately predicts sepsis for emergency medical admissions.
What Are the Effects of Culture-Negative vs Culture-Positive Sepsis?
People with culture-negative and culture-positive sepsis had similar characteristics and, after adjusting for illness severity, similar mortality.
Causes of Sepsis Readmission Often Linked to Infectious Etiologies
Patient characteristics and modifiable system-based factors were associated with costly hospital readmission after sepsis.
Prediction Rule for Serious Infection Accurate in Low-Risk Febrile Infants
Study validates accurate prediction rule for identifying febrile infants age <60 days at low risk for serious bacterial infections using urinalysis, absolute neutrophil count, and procalcitonin levels.
Machine-Learning Models Allow Early Detection of Sepsis in the NICU
Models using EHR data from infants in NICU can detect sepsis hours before clinical signs are apparent.
How Preventable Is Sepsis-Associated Death in Hospitalized Adults?
While sepsis was the most common immediate cause of death at 6 US academic and community hospitals, most patients had severe chronic comorbidities.
Hospital-Onset MRSA Decreased From 2002 to 2015
Staphylococcus aureus infections are still a concern in the United States, despite a decline seen in hospital-onset MRSA infections since 2005.
Readmission for Patients With Sepsis Common and Costly
Readmission after sepsis hospitalization is common and is associated with considerable costs.
