Distinguishing different subtypes of sepsis by machine learning sets the stage for individualized treatment, researchers say
Four clinical sepsis phenotypes were identified that correlated with host-response patterns and clinical outcomes, researchers reported here. The four novel sepsis phenotypes — alpha (α), beta (β), gamma (γ), and delta (δ) — with different demographics, laboratory values, and patterns of organ dysfunction were derived, validated, and shown to correlate with biomarkers and mortality, according
