Phoenix: an R package and Python module for calculating the Phoenix pediatric sepsis score and criteria.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The publication of the Phoenix criteria for pediatric sepsis and septic shock initiates a new era in clinical care and research of pediatric sepsis. Tools to consistently and accurately apply the Phoenix criteria to electronic health records (EHRs) is one part of building a robust and internally consistent body of research across multiple research groups and datasets.

Materials and methods

We developed the phoenix R package and Python module to provide researchers with intuitive and simple functions to apply the Phoenix criteria to EHR data.

Results

The phoenix R package and Python module enable researchers to apply the Phoenix criteria to EHR datasets and derive the relevant indicators, total scores, and sub-scores.
