Qsofa-with-supar-for-risk-detection-antibiotic-treatment-guidance

2024 13 Feb

  Early recognition and initiation of antibiotics are crucial in managing sepsis. Various warning scores, including qSOFA (quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment), have been introduced to aid early detection. Patients with suspected infection and at least two of the qSOFA clinical signs are at a significantly higher risk of death after 28 days....Read more

Why-artificial-intelligence-is-not-fixing-the-problem-of-sepsis-in-the-hospital

2023 13 Oct

The use of Artificial Intelligence in detecting sepsis, AI prediction/detection models and how these healthcare tools need to complement clinical expertise.     The potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare has generated significant excitement and discussion. However, it's important to distinguish between the theoretical...Read more

2022 10 Jun

Sepsis is a condition commonly encountered in critically ill patients. However, the management of sepsis varies globally and mainly depends on the availability of resources. Sepsis-related mortality tends to be higher in countries with limited resources.  In this study, the researchers summarise evidence regarding sepsis protocols and their compliances...Read more

Comparing-hospital-onset-sepsis-and-community-onset-sepsis-1

2022 17 May

Sepsis is a heterogeneous syndrome. It has varying characteristics and therapeutic items depending on the patient’s background, socio-economic status, geographic reason, causative pathogens, site of infection, host responses and quality of care. This heterogeneity makes the management of sepsis even more challenging and hinders clinical research planning....Read more

Sepsis continues to be a leading cause of death in hospitalised patients. Approximately 1.7 million individuals develop sepsis each year in the US and of these, around 270,000 die from the infection. Sepsis affects nearly 30 million patients worldwide and nearly 6 million die from sepsis each year. Billions of dollars are required to manage sepsis,...Read more

Monocyte-distribution-width-as-biomarker-for-early-sepsis-detection

2019 25 Jul

Existing biomarkers provide limited use for rapid detection of sepsis since they cannot accurately distinguish sepsis from other common conditions encountered in the emergency department (ED). Now a U.S. clinical trial suggests that the monocyte distribution width (MDW) can be a useful indicator of Sepsis-2 and Sepsis-3 in high-risk ED patients. "Changes...Read more

Sepsis, a life-threatening condition, is difficult to identify accurately in children. Researchers in the U.S. have developed a two-stage electronic sepsis alert (ESA) to improve detection of paediatric severe sepsis in the emergency department. Using a combination of vital signs, risk factors and physician judgment, the ESA reduces missed sepsis diagnoses...Read more

Healthcare providers are increasingly turning to technology to detect sepsis and report on sepsis management. As most electronic medical record (EMR) providers do not offer easily deployed sepsis modules, healthcare providers report using solutions from infection control and surveillance vendors as well as specialised sepsis solutions. KLAS Research’s...Read more
