The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3)
Mervyn Singer,Clifford S. Deutschman,Christopher W. Seymour,Manu Shankar-Hari,Djillali Annane,Michael Bauer,Rinaldo Bellomo,Gordon R. Bernard,Jean-Daniel Chiche,Craig M. Coopersmith,Richard S. Hotchkiss,Mitchell M. Levy,John C. Marshall,Greg S. Martin,Steven M. Opal,Gordon D. Rubenfeld,Gordon D. Rubenfeld,Tom van der Poll,Jean Louis Vincent,Derek C. Angus +19 more
TL;DR: The task force concluded the term severe sepsis was redundant and updated definitions and clinical criteria should replace previous definitions, offer greater consistency for epidemiologic studies and clinical trials, and facilitate earlier recognition and more timely management of patients with sepsi or at risk of developing sepsic shock.

Assessment of Global Incidence and Mortality of Hospital-treated Sepsis. Current Estimates and Limitations.
Carolin Fleischmann,André Scherag,Neill K. J. Adhikari,Christiane S. Hartog,Thomas Tsaganos,Peter Schlattmann,Derek C. Angus,Konrad Reinhart +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically searched 15 citation databases for population-level estimates of sepsis incidence rates and fatality in adult populations using consensus criteria and published in the last 36 years.

Donald M. Yealy,John A. Kellum,David T. Huang,Lisa A. Weissfeld,Francis Pike,Thomas E. Terndrup,Peter C. Hou,Frank LoVecchio,Michael R. Fil,Nathan I. Shapiro,Beth,Derek C. Angus +11 more
TL;DR: In a multicenter trial conducted in the tertiary care setting, protocol-based resuscitation of patients in whom septic shock was diagnosed in the emergency department did not improve outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of severe sepsis.
TL;DR: People of older age, male gender, black race, and preexisting chronic health conditions are particularly prone to develop severe sepsis; hence prevention strategies should be targeted at these vulnerable populations in future studies.

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with traditional tidal volumes for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Roy G. Brower,Michael A. Matthay,Alan H. Morris,David A. Schoenfeld,B. Taylor Thompson,Arthur P. Wheeler +5 more
TL;DR: In patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation with a lower tidal volume than is traditionally used results in decreased mortality and increases the number of days without ventilator use.

Early Goal-Directed Therapy in the Treatment of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
Emanuel P. Rivers,Bryant Nguyen,Suzanne Havstad,Julie Ressler,Alexandria Muzzin,Bernhard P. Knoblich,Edward L. Peterson,Michael C. Tomlanovich +7 more
TL;DR: This study randomly assigned patients who arrived at an urban emergency department with severe sepsis or septic shock to receive either six hours of early goal-directed therapy or standard therapy (as a control) before admission to the intensive care unit.

Epidemiology of severe sepsis in the United States: analysis of incidence, outcome, and associated costs of care.
Derek C. Angus,Walter T. Linde-Zwirble,Jeffrey Lidicker,Gilles Clermont,Joseph A. Carcillo,Michael R. Pinsky +5 more
TL;DR: Severe sepsis is a common, expensive, and frequently fatal condition, with as many deaths annually as those from acute myocardial infarction, and is especially common in the elderly and is likely to increase substantially as the U.S. population ages.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome: the Berlin Definition.
Ards Definition Task Force,V. Marco Ranieri,Gordon D. Rubenfeld,B. Taylor Thompson,Niall D. Ferguson,Ellen Caldwell,Eddy Fan,Luigi Camporota,Luigi Camporota,Arthur S. Slutsky +9 more
TL;DR: The updated and revised Berlin Definition for ARDS addresses a number of the limitations of the AECC definition and may serve as a model to create more accurate, evidence-based, critical illness syndrome definitions and to better inform clinical care, research, and health services planning.
