Operationalizing a Sepsis Definition for Children: Think Globally but Act Locally

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation discusses the complexities of assessing suspected sepsis in children, emphasizing the variability in symptoms and the need for context-specific criteria. The Phoenix sepsis score helps identify children with life-threatening organ dysfunction due to infection across different geographical settings. This score is adaptable, sensitive, specific, and correlates with biological phenotypes, facilitating identification of patients who may benefit from specific therapies. Considerations such as biology, epidemiology, timing, resources, and access are crucial. Despite challenges, the Phoenix score aids in managing severe cases, with a focus on flexibility and adaptability across varied health care contexts globally.
