- Operationalizing Appropriate Sepsis Definitions in Children Worldwide: Considerations for the Pediatric Sepsis Definition Taskforce(2023) CARROL, Enitan D.; RANJIT, Suchitra; MENON, Kusum D.; BENNETT, Tellen D.; SANCHEZ-PINTO, L. Nelson J.; ZIMMERMAN, Jerry J. C.; SOUZA, Daniela C. R.; SORCE, Lauren R. G.; RANDOLPH, Adrienne G.; ISHIMINE, Paul; OLIVEIRA, Claudio Flauzino de; LODHA, Rakesh; HARMON, Lori; WATSON, R. Scott J.; SCHLAPBACH, Luregn J.; KISSOON, Niranjan C.; ARGENT, Andrew C.Sepsis is a leading cause of global mortality in children, yet definitions for pediatric sepsis are outdated and lack global applicability and validity. In adults, the Sepsis-3 Definition Taskforce queried databases from high-income countries to develop and validate the criteria. The merit of this definition has been widely acknowledged; however, important considerations about less-resourced and more diverse settings pose challenges to its use globally. To improve applicability and relevance globally, the Pediatric Sepsis Definition Taskforce sought to develop a conceptual framework and rationale of the critical aspects and context-specific factors that must be considered for the optimal operationalization of future pediatric sepsis definitions. It is important to address challenges in developing a set of pediatric sepsis criteria which capture manifestations of illnesses with vastly different etiologies and underlying mechanisms. Ideal criteria need to be unambiguous, and capable of adapting to the different contexts in which children with suspected infections are present around the globe. Additionally, criteria need to facilitate early recognition and timely escalation of treatment to prevent progression and limit life-threatening organ dysfunction. To address these challenges, locally adaptable solutions are required, which permit individualized care based on available resources and the pretest probability of sepsis. This should facilitate affordable diagnostics which support risk stratification and prediction of likely treatment responses, and solutions for locally relevant outcome measures. For this purpose, global collaborative databases need to be established, using minimum variable datasets from routinely collected data. In summary, a ""Think globally, act locally"" approach is required.

- Reporting of Social Determinants of Health in Pediatric Sepsis Studies*(2023) MENON, Kusum R.; SORCE, Lauren; ARGENT, Andrew D.; BENNETT, Tellen D.; CARROL, Enitan; KISSOON, Niranjan; SANCHEZ-PINTO, L. Nelson J.; SCHLAPBACH, Luregn C.; SOUZA, Daniela de; WATSON, R. Scott L.; WYNN, James J.; ZIMMERMAN, Jerry; RANJIT, Suchitra; Pediat Sepsis Definition TaskforceOBJECTIVE:Standardized, consistent reporting of social determinants of health (SDOH) in studies on children with sepsis would allow for: 1) understanding the association of SDOH with illness severity and outcomes, 2) comparing populations and extrapolating study results, and 3) identification of potentially modifiable socioeconomic factors for policy makers. We, therefore, sought to determine how frequently data on SDOH were reported, which factors were collected and how these factors were defined in studies of sepsis in children. DATA SOURCES AND SELECTION:We reviewed 106 articles (published between 2005 and 2020) utilized in a recent systematic review on physiologic criteria for pediatric sepsis. DATA EXTRACTION:Data were extracted by two reviewers on variables that fell within the World Health Organization's SDOH categories. DATA SYNTHESIS:SDOH were not the primary outcome in any of the included studies. Seventeen percent of articles (18/106) did not report on any SDOH, and a further 36.8% (39/106) only reported on gender/sex. Of the remaining 46.2% of articles, the most reported SDOH categories were preadmission nutritional status (35.8%, 38/106) and race/ethnicity (18.9%, 20/106). However, no two studies used the same definition of the variables reported within each of these categories. Six studies reported on socioeconomic status (3.8%, 6/106), including two from upper-middle-income and four from lower middle-income countries. Only three studies reported on parental education levels (2.8%, 3/106). No study reported on parental job security or structural conflict. CONCLUSIONS:We found overall low reporting of SDOH and marked variability in categorizations and definitions of SDOH variables. Consistent and standardized reporting of SDOH in pediatric sepsis studies is needed to understand the role these factors play in the development and severity of sepsis, to compare and extrapolate study results between settings and to implement policies aimed at improving socioeconomic conditions related to sepsis.
- Haemodynamic support for paediatric septic shock: a global perspective(2023) RANJIT, Suchitra; KISSOON, Niranjan; ARGENT, Andrew; INWALD, David; VENTURA, Andrea Maria Cordeiro; JABORINSKY, Roberto; SANKAR, Jhuma; SOUZA, Daniela Carla de; NATRAJ, Rajeswari; OLIVEIRA, Claudio Flauzino De; SAMRANSAMRUAJKIT, Rujipat; JAYASHREE, Muralidharan; SCHLAPBACH, Luregn J.Septic shock is a leading cause of hospitalisation, morbidity, and mortality for children worldwide. In 2020, the paediatric Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) issued evidence-based recommendations for clinicians caring for children with septic shock and sepsis-associated organ dysfunction based on the evidence available at the time. There are now more trials from multiple settings, including low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), addressing optimal fluid choice and amount, selection and timing of vasoactive infusions, and optimal monitoring and therapeutic endpoints. In response to developments in adult critical care to trial personalised haemodynamic management algorithms, it is timely to critically reassess the current state of applying SSC guidelines in LMIC settings. In this Viewpoint, we briefly outline the challenges to improve sepsis care in LMICs and then discuss three key concepts that are relevant to management of children with septic shock around the world, especially in LMICs. These concepts include uncertainties surrounding the early recognition of paediatric septic shock, choices for initial haemodynamic support, and titration of ongoing resuscitation to therapeutic endpoints. Specifically, given the evolving understanding of clinical phenotypes, we focus on the controversies surrounding the concepts of early fluid resuscitation and vasoactive agent use, including insights gained from experience in LMICs and high-income countries. We outline the key components of sepsis management that are both globally relevant and translatable to low-resource settings, with a view to open the conversation to the large variety of treatment pathways, especially in LMICs. We emphasise the role of simple and easily available monitoring tools to apply the SSC guidelines and to tailor individualised support to the patient's cardiovascular physiology.
- The Current and Future State of Pediatric Sepsis Definitions: An International Survey(2022) MORIN, Luc; HALL, Mark; SOUZA, Daniela de; Lu Guoping; JABORNISKY, Roberto; SHIME, Nobuaki; RANJIT, Suchitra; GILHOLM, Patricia; NAKAGAWA, Satoshi; ZIMMERMAN, Jerry J.; SORCE, Lauren R.; ARGENT, Andrew; KISSOON, Niranjan; TISSIERES, Pierre; WATSON, R. Scott; SCHLAPBACH, Luregn J.BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Definitions for pediatric sepsis were established in 2005 without data-driven criteria. It is unknown whether the more recent adult Sepsis-3 definitions meet the needs of providers caring for children. We aimed to explore the use and applicability of criteria to diagnose sepsis and septic shock in children across the world. METHODS: This is an international electronic survey of clinicians distributed across international and national societies representing pediatric intensive care, emergency medicine, pediatrics, and pediatric infectious diseases. Respondents stated their preferences on a 5-point Likert scale. RESULTS: There were 2835 survey responses analyzed, of which 48% originated from upper-middle income countries, followed by high income countries (38%) and low or lower-middle income countries (14%). Abnormal vital signs, laboratory evidence of inflammation, and microbiologic diagnoses were the criteria most used for the diagnosis of ""sepsis."" The 2005 consensus definitions were perceived to be the most useful for sepsis recognition, while Sepsis-3 definitions were stated as more useful for benchmarking, disease classification, enrollment into trials, and prognostication. The World Health Organization definitions were perceived as least useful across all domains. Seventy one percent of respondents agreed that the term sepsis should be restricted to children with infection-associated organ dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians around the world apply a myriad of signs, symptoms, laboratory studies, and treatment factors when diagnosing sepsis. The concept of sepsis as infection with associated organ dysfunction is broadly supported. Currently available sepsis definitions fall short of the perceived needs. Future diagnostic algorithms should be pragmatic and sensitive to the clinical settings.
