Fig 1. Critical stages in the pediatric sepsis continuum (I, Initiation; S, Sepsis; SV, Severe Sepsis; SH, Septic Shock) and adverse outcomes is shown by (1) and (2), respectively.
Current pediatric sepsis alert generation using structured data elements (3) is represented by the black box (Current), and the proposed augmented human-in-the-loop (HITL) framework using multimodal data and concerted working of providers with structured (3) and unstructured data elements (4), (5), (6) is shown by the blue box.
