Sepsis epidemiology across the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Edition, to International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, chasm-a direct application of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation case definition to hospital disc
The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of sepsis across the transition from the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), 9th Edition and ICD, 10th Edition, coding systems, evaluating estimates of two previously published ICD 10th Edition, coding strategies. The investigators concluded that The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation ICD, 10th Edition, coding strategy for identifying sepsis may capture a larger patient population within administrative datasets that are different from those identified with previously deployed ICD-based methods.

The use of patient monitoring systems to improve sepsis recognition and outcomes: a systematic review.
This systematic review’s aim was to determine the impact of automated patient monitoring systems (PMSs) on sepsis recognition and outcomes. The review was conducted using articles published from 2008 through 2018. Nineteen articles were identified for inclusion with 4 systematic reviews and 15 individual studies. Study results for outcome measures were mixed, with more than half the studies showing a significant improvement in at least one outcome measure (eg mortality, intensive care unit length of stay, ICU transfer). Evidence for process measure improvement was of moderate strength across multiple hospital units.

Who owns sepsis?
In this Ideas and Opinions article, the authors discuss applying to sepsis guidelines that are already in place for other conditions. They indicate that other time-critical diagnoses have evolved triaging systems to inform the urgency and intensity of therapy, and that sepsis can evolve similarly, where potentially infected patients with worrisome signs or comorbidities, such as hypotension, altered mental status, or immunosuppression, are managed with one level of urgency and intensity and less severely ill patients are managed with another.
