One Outcome Taught Seventy-Two Hours of Severity
A retrospective two-site study learned an hourly sepsis index from whole-treatment mortality rankings rather than hour-by-hour labels.
Summary
A retrospective two-site study learned an hourly sepsis index from whole-treatment mortality rankings rather than hour-by-hour labels.
The model used 43 routinely charted variables from 29,116 and 7,691 adults meeting Sepsis-3 criteria. Non-survivors scored 1.19 to 1.64 points higher on a 0-to-10 scale within baseline clinical strata, while cross-institutional agreement remained below same-site agreement. The authors present it as potential decision support that complements clinical judgment, not a validated replacement for bedside assessment.
