Med."],"abstract":"<jats:sec><jats:title>Background<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sepsis is the leading cause of death in intensive care units (ICUs), and its timely detection and treatment improve clinical outcome and survival. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) refers to the concurrent fulfillment of at least two out of the following four clinical criteria: tachycardia, tachypnea, abnormal body temperature, and abnormal leukocyte count. While SIRS was controversially abandoned from the current sepsis definition, a dynamic SIRS representation still has potential for sepsis prediction and diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively elucidate the individual contributions of the SIRS criteria in a polytrauma cohort from the post-surgical ICU of University Medical Center Mannheim (Germany).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We used a dynamic and prospective SIRS algorithm tailored to the ICU setting by accounting for catecholamine therapy and mechanical ventilation. Two clinically relevant tasks are considered: (i) sepsis prediction using the first 24 h after admission to our ICU, and (ii) sepsis diagnosis using the last 24 h before sepsis onset and a time point of comparable ICU treatment duration for controls, respectively. We determine the importance of individual SIRS criteria by systematically varying criteria weights when summarizing the SIRS algorithm output with SIRS descriptors and assessing the classification performance of the resulting logistic regression models using a specifically developed ranking score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our models perform better for the diagnosis than the prediction task (maximum AUROC 0.816 vs. 0.693). Risk models containing only the SIRS level average mostly show reasonable performance across criteria weights, with prediction and diagnosis AUROCs ranging from 0.455 (weight on leukocyte criterion only) to 0.693 and 0.619 to 0.800, respectively. For sepsis prediction, temperature and tachypnea are the most important SIRS criteria, whereas the leukocytes criterion is least important and potentially even counterproductive. For sepsis diagnosis, all SIRS criteria are relevant, with the temperature criterion being most influential.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>SIRS is relevant for sepsis prediction and diagnosis in polytrauma, and no criterion should a priori be omitted. Hence, the original expert-defined SIRS criteria are valid, capturing important sepsis risk determinants. Our prospective SIRS algorithm provides dynamic determination of SIRS criteria and descriptors, allowing their integration in sepsis risk models also in other settings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2023.1227031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]],"date-time":"2023-07-31T17:21:08Z","timestamp":1690824068000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Dissecting contributions of individual systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria from a prospective algorithm to the prediction and diagnosis of sepsis in a polytrauma cohort"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Roman","family":"Schefzik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bianka","family":"Hahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Verena","family":"Schneider-Lindner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"628302","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2021.628302","article-title":"Sepsis \u2013 pathophysiology and therapeutic concepts","volume":"8","author":"Jarczak","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front Med."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(19)32989-7","article-title":"Global, regional, and national sepsis incidence and mortality, 1990\u20132017: analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study","volume":"395","author":"Rudd","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e8595","DOI":"10.1590\/1414-431x20198595","article-title":"Sepsis: evolving concepts and challenges","volume":"52","author":"Salom\u00e3o","year":"2019","journal-title":"Braz J Med Biol Res."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2235","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1703058","article-title":"Time to treatment and mortality during mandated emergency care for sepsis","volume":"376","author":"Seymour","year":"2017","journal-title":"N Engl J Med."},{"key":"B5","first-page":"277","article-title":"The antibiotic resistance crisis \u2013 Part 1: causes and threats","volume":"40","author":"Ventola","year":"2015","journal-title":"Pharm Therapeut."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"520","DOI":"10.1038\/ja.2017.30","article-title":"The antibiotic resistance crisis, with a focus on the United States","volume":"70","author":"Martens","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
