Prognostic Accuracy of the Phoenix Sepsis Criteria for Mortality in Children With Suspected Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the prognostic accuracy of the Phoenix Sepsis Criteria (PSC) for predicting in-hospital mortality in children with suspected infections and to compare its performance with the International Pediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference (IPSCC) criteria. Their systematic review and meta-analysis found that the PSC demonstrated better sensitivity and specificity than the IPSCC, although its performance varied by clinical setting, highlighting the need for further validation and context-specific clinical decision support tools.
