Sepsis is a condition in which the body fails to respond properly to infection. It can progress into septic shock, which can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver, and other organs.
When the damage is severe, it can lead to death, with an estimated 11 million sepsis-related deaths worldwide each year.
With this new dual approach, researchers combined the unique molecular signatures of sepsis with AI tools to predict someone’s risk of organ failure and death.
