Defining and measuring suspicion of sepsis: an analysis of routine data by Charles Vincent, Bethan Page, Matthew Inada-Kim, Imran Maqsood

“…Objectives To define the target population of patients who have suspicion of sepsis (SOS) and to provide a basis for assessing the burden of SOS, and the evaluation of sepsis guidelines and improvement programmes.Design Retrospective analysis of routinely collected hospital administrative data.Setting Secondary care, eight National Health Service (NHS) Acute Trusts.Participants Hospital Episode Statistics data for 2013–2014 was used to identify all admissions with a primary diagnosis listed in the ‘suspicion of sepsis’ (SOS) coding set. The SOS coding set consists of all bacterial infective diagnoses.Results We identified 47 475 admissions with SOS, equivalent to a rate of 17 admissions per 1000 adults in a given year. …”
