A sepsis early warning system is associated with improved patient outcomes

Jason N Kennedy et al. Cell Rep Med. .

Abstract

In a real-world implementation of a machine-learning (ML)-based sepsis early warning system (EWS), Adams et al.1,2 found that timely provider response to an alert was associated with improved mortality, highlighting the potential utility of these systems in patient care.
