Validation of SCAI Shock Staging in Critically Ill Medical Intensive Care Unit Patients With Sepsis and Septic Shock.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study evaluated the predictive value of SCAI shock staging for mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock admitted to the medical ICU.

Materials and methods

This is a single-center historical cohort study. We analyzed data for adults (≥18-year-old) admitted to the medical ICU at Mayo Clinic St. Mary's campus with sepsis between June 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021. Sepsis was identified using the Sepsis-III criteria. Patients were stratified based on SCAI shock staging. Our primary outcome was all-cause 30-day mortality.

Results

We identified 3079 eligible adult patients with sepsis or septic shock. The distribution of SCAI shock stages A through E was 9%, 12%, 25%, 49%, and 5%, respectively. The overall 30-day mortality was 24%. There was progress
