Sepsis-3 - Derek Angus - SSAI2017
1. The Third International
Consensus Definitions for
Sepsis and Septic Shock
(Sepsis-3)
Derek C Angus, MD MPH
The CRISMA Center
Department of Critical Care Medicine
University of Pittsburgh
3. Issues with the 1991 and 2001 Definitions
SIRS – based
“Severe Sepsis”
Different criteria
yielding different results
4. Increased Understanding of Sepsis Pathobiology
More than just rampant inflammation
Key role of immunosuppression
Contribution of non-immune mechanisms
Possible adaptive nature of organ dysfunction – hibernation
Re-appraisal of the nature of septic shock

The Document
6. 1. Beyond the remit of the task force to define infection
2. Sepsis is not simply infection + two or more SIRS criteria
3. The host response is of key importance
4. Sepsis represents bad infection where
bad = infection leading to organ dysfunction
5. “Severe sepsis” is not helpful and should be eliminated
CONSENSUS
Task Force Decisions
7. Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused
by a dysregulated host response to infection
The Definition of Sepsis
8. Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction
caused by a dysregulated host response to infection
The Definition of Sepsis
Key Distinctions
So … “sepsis” now = the old “severe sepsis”
9. Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused
by a dysregulated host response to infection
The Definition of Sepsis
Key Distinctions
As opposed to the
“regulated host response”
that characterizes the non-septic response to infection

There is no gold standard for
sepsis

“Fares badly” is a proxy
‘Bad outcomes’ (e.g., death) are more
common among infected patients who
are septic than those who are not

Excluded prophylactic antibiotics, intra-operative
Determined when infection first suspected

27. Conclusions
In the ICU, the SOFA and LODS have greater predictive
validity than qSOFA or SIRS
Outside the ICU, the qSOFA has similar predictive
validity to more complex scores

28. Caveats, implications, and next steps …
Retrospective, using charted info in EHR
Largely in US healthcare setting
Finds ‘who does badly’ among infected patients
A proxy for ‘septic’
No blood tests
If it were to hold up …
‘Prompt’ for more careful monitoring, transfer to ICU, etc.
But, like all RRT prompts, unclear if ‘activation’ improves
outcome …

SIRS Sensitivity
SIRS is an appropriate response to infection –
or any other stimulus that activates inflammation
33. Severe Sepsis
Confusing
Most people say “sepsis” when they mean
“severe sepsis”
Is “severe sepsis” really needed ?
Editor's Notes
Going to remake this slide not using JAMA graphics but my own table
Need to sort out better graphics as the whites don’t match
