Sepsis Chain of Survival SUMMARY: The “Chain of Survival” was first applied to sudden cardiac arrest and indicates the chain of events which must occur in rapid succession to maximize chances of survival. The Chain of Survival has a natural application to sepsis. The links in the chain include early recognition

SOFA Score Machine Learning Sepsis Mortality Prediction SUMMARY: Evaluation of repeated SOFA scores may provide a better 30 day sepsis mortality predictability. Machine learning algorithms outperform conventional SOFA delta scores on 30 day mortality. Several limitations present with longitudinal SOFA scores. REVIEW:  Delta SOFA scores comparing day 1
