Sepsis Prediction Model for Determining Sepsis vs SIRS, qSOFA, and SOFA.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The Sepsis Prediction Model (SPM) is a proprietary decision support tool created by Epic Systems; it generates a predicting sepsis score (PSS). The model has not undergone validation against existing sepsis prediction tools, such as Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), or quick Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Asessement (qSOFA).

Objective

To assess the validity and timeliness of the SPM compared with SIRS, qSOFA, and SOFA.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study included all adults admitted to 5 acute care hospitals in a single US health system between June 5, 2019, and December 31, 2020. Data analysis was conducted from March 2021 to February 2023.
