Quality and concordance of international paediatric sepsis guidelines: a cross-sectional appraisal from the SENTINEL International study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the methodological quality of hospital-specific pediatric sepsis clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and assess their consistency and concordance with the Surviving Sepsis Campaign 2020 standards. Their findings revealed that all 14 CPGs assessed were of low methodological quality, yet most aligned with key time-critical recommendations from SSC 2020, highlighting significant variations in fluid resuscitation and steroid administration practices.
