"In all of our populations, the screening tool continues to have a very high negative predictive value, which is extremely important when you're screening for something like sepsis," she pointed out. SUGGESTED for you The screening tool involves the twice-daily assessment of white blood cell co...
In 2017, the Scientific Standardization Committee on Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy (DIC) of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) established the term sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC), introducing a new screening and diagnostic tool called the SIC score [4, 5]. The...
evaluate the impact of a sepsis screening tool implemented in an academic medical center ED on compliance with the 3-hour sepsis bundle.This was a retrospective cohort study that included a total of 115 patients, of which 58 were in the pre-tool group and 57 were in the post-tool group....
This study was performed to evaluate the predictive performance of the qSOFA score as a screening tool for sepsis, mortality, and intensive care unit (ICU) admission in patients with febrile neutropenia (FN). We also tried to compare its performance with that of the systemic inflammatory ...
but no analysis was performed to support its use as a screening tool [5]. Since that time numerous studies have investigated the potential use of the qSOFA as a screening tool for sepsis [40,41,42]. The results have been contradictory as to its usefulness. Studies have shown that qSOFA...
Third, serum lactate levels, which have been proposed as a screening tool for sepsis or septic shock, were not retained in the qSOFA during model construction. One reason may be because serum lactate levels were not measured commonly in the UPMC data set. When serum lactate levels were added...

Overall, 289 (18.2%) patients were screened for sepsis using the ‘All Wales sepsis screening tool’. The ‘Sepsis Six’ bundle was completed on 223 (14.0%) occasions. There were no significant trends in completion rates of the screening tools between 2016 and 2019, nor in the proportion of...
We noted risks of bias potentially impacting testing and validation, which may introduce uncertainties for appropriate clinical use. For example, selection bias was reported in one screening tool’s performance68, and feature data may be collected at different times between different technologies70. As...
