3 SEPSIS IN THE HEADLINES

4 SEPSIS INCIDENCE, PREVALENCE & MORTALITY

5 SEPSIS OVERVIEW 18 million cases of sepsis worldwide each year Sepsis kills approximately 1400 people worldwide everyday Septicemia was the sixth most common principal reason for hospitalization in the U.S. with 836,000 hospital stays in 2009 Sepsis is a disease spectrum that starts with SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome)

6 Sepsis Review: Disease Progression Insult SIRS Sepsis Severe Sepsis MODS Death Insult: Bacterial Viral Fungal Parasitic Infection Sepsis: SIRS + Infection Clinical response to insult with 2 of the following Temp > 38 C or < 36 C Heart Rate > 90 beats/min Respiration > 20 breaths/min or PaCO2 < 32mm Hg WBC > 12,000/mm3, < 4,000/mm3 or >10% immature bands Severe Sepsis: Sepsis induced hypotension LA >4 UO <0.5mL/kg/hr ALI <250 or <200 based on source Creat>2mg/dL Bili >2 Platelets <100,000 Septic Shock: Sepsisinduced refractory hypotension Dellinger, R P et al. CC Med. 2013

7 PREVALENCE AND INCIDENCE From 1993 to 2009, septicemia related hospital stays more than doubled, increasing by 153% overall, for an average annual increase of 6% The most common identified organism was E. coli for patients with a principal diagnosis of septicemia and MRSA for patients with a secondary diagnosis of septicemia Over 50% of septicemia cases had no organism identified Complication of device, implant, or graft was the most common principal reason for septicemia-related hospitalization(1 of every 5 sepsis related stays)

8 PREVALENCE AND MORTALITY Nearly 1 out of every 23 patients in the hospital (4.2 percent) had septicemia On average, 4,600 new patients per day were treated in U.S. hospitals for this condition In 2009, the in-hospital mortality rate for septicemia was about 16 % (8 times higher than other stays)

9 PREVALENCE AND MORTALITY Strikes more than 750,000 people each year in the US Mortality remains greater than 30% 1 person every 2.5 minutes! Mortality rate has not improved in the last 20 years Impacts Newborn, pediatric, adults, aged Morbidity Surgical sepsis rate is increasing

10 EARLY IDENTIFICATION MEANS EARLY TREATMENT Mortality decreases by 15% with early goal directed therapy For every 6 adults with septic shock who are treated effectively 1 death is prevented Every hour delay in receiving effective antibiotics is associated with 7.6% decrease in survival in adults with septic shock

11 SEPSIS BUNDLES AND CARE STANDARDS

12 SEPSIS BUNDLES

13 ABCS OF SEPSIS CARE A. Initial Resuscitation: Fluids Normalize lactate B. Screening for Sepsis and Performance Improvement C. Diagnosis Cultures Imaging studies to confirm source D. Antimicrobial Therapy Duration of therapy 7-10 days E. Source Control F. Infection Prevention

14 SEVERE SEPSIS IS COSTLY Septicemia was the most expensive reason for hospitalization in 2009 totaling nearly $15.4 billion in aggregate hospital costs Mean LOS days Mean cost/day- $2300 Mean cost/stay $18,500-33,900 AHRQ, 2011

15 THERE IS NO MASTER TREATMENT EARLY RECOGNITION IS THE KEY!

16 INFORM OTHERS ABOUT SEPSIS According to the polls conducted by the Sepsis Alliance, in 2015 an online survey of 2000 participants revealed that only 47% of Americans were aware of sepsis. (86% knew about Ebola and 76% about Malaria) (ABC Online, 2016) CDC recommendation for an acronym to teach others the signs of sepsis: S - Shivering, fever, or feeling very cold E - Extreme pain or general discomfort, as in worst ever P - Pale or discolored skin S - Sleepy, difficult to wake up or confused I - I feel like I might die S - Shortness of breath (CDC, 2015)

17 SEPSIS CORE MEASURE

18 DEFINITION Core Measure or Quality Measure: A set of care standards dictated by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that have been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes.

19 SEP-1 EARLY MANAGEMENT BUNDLE, SEVERE SEPSIS/SEPTIC SHOCK Denominator: Inpatients 18 years and older with any diagnosis of Sepsis, Severe Sepsis, or Septic Shock (not just principal diagnosis) and a length of stay < 120 days 28 ICD-10 codes Numerator: Patients meets all applicable elements in the table

20 SEP-1 EXCLUDED PATIENTS Patients receiving IV antibiotics for more than 24 hours prior to presentation of severe sepsis Administrative contraindication to care (refusal of lab draw, fluids, or antibiotics) Transfer in from another acute care facility Directive for Comfort Care within 3 hours of presentation of severe sepsis or 6 hours of septic shock Patients who expire within 3 hours of presentation of severe sepsis or 6 hours of septic shock

21 CORE MEASURE SEVERE SEPSIS Defining Criteria Documentation of a suspected source of clinical infection by a provider Two or more Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria Organ Dysfunction Systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 90, or mean arterial pressure < 65, or a SBP decrease of > 40 mmhg from the last previously recorded SBP considered normal for that patient Acute respiratory failure (vent/bipap) Creatinine > 2.0, or urine output < 0.5 ml/kg/hour for 2 hours Bilirubin > 2 mg/dl (34.2 mmol/l) Platelet count < 100,000 INR > 1.5 or aptt > 60 sec Lactate > 2 mmol/l (18.0 mg/dl)

22 CORE MEASURE - SEPTIC SHOCK Severe Sepsis is present and tissue hypoperfusion persists in the hour after crystalloid fluid administration, evidenced by 1 of the following: Blood pressure, 2 consecutive readings: SBP < 90, or Mean arterial pressure < 65 or Decrease in SBP by > 40 points from the last previously recorded SBP considered normal for the patient Initial lactate level is >= 4 mmol/l (septic shock presentation time will be the same as severe sepsis presentation time)

23 Within 3 Hours of Presentation SEPSIS BUNDLES Severe Sepsis Bundle Initial lactate level measurement Broad spectrum or other antibiotics given Blood cultures drawn prior to antibiotics Septic Shock Bundle 3 treatments for severe sepsis plus: Resuscitation with 30 ml/kg crystalloid fluids Within 6 Hours of Presentation Repeat lactate level measurement only if initial lactate level is >2 mmol/l Repeat lactate level measurement only if initial lactate level is >2 mmol/l Volume status and tissue perfusion assessment consisting of either: o A focused exam including: Vital signs, AND Cardiopulmonary exam, AND Capillary refill evaluation, AND Peripheral pulse evaluation, AND Skin examination o Any two of the following four: Central venous pressure measurement Central venous oxygen measurement Bedside Cardiovascular Ultrasound Passive Leg Raise or Fluid Challenge Vasopressors (only required for persistent hypotension)

24 3 RD INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS FOR SEPSIS AND SEPTIC SHOCK (SEPSIS-3) Seymour, C. W. et al (Feb 2016) JAMA

25 ASSESSMENT OF THE CLINICAL CRITERIA FOR SEPSIS To evaluate the validity of clinical criteria to identify patients with suspected infection who are at risk for sepsis Evaluated Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), SIRS criteria, Logistic Organ Dysfunction System (LODS) and a new model Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (QSOFA) 1.3 million electronic health record encounters from identified with suspected infection to compare criteria. Analysis was performed in 4 data sets of 706,399 out-of-hospital and hospital encounters at 165 us and non US hospitals from

26 CONCLUSIONS qsofa scores 2 or higher had a 3-14 fold increase in hospital mortality across baseline risk. (these findings were similar in ext. data sets) For the 24% of the encounters with infection with 2 or 3 qsofa points accounted for 70% of deaths, or ICU stays 3 days or longer The predictive validity for in-hospital mortality of qsofa was statistically greater than SOFA and SIRS suggesting that it can be used as a prompt to consider possible sepsis

27 QSOFA ELEMENTS Glascow Coma Scale ( score of 13 or less) Systolic BP of 100mmHg or less Respiratory Rate of 22/min or more (1 point for each) HAT Hypotension, Altered Mental Status and Tachypnea

28 NEW DEFINITIONS SUGGESTED Sepsis life threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection. Increase in the SOFA score of 2 or more Septic Shock subset of sepsis in which profound circulatory, cellular, and metabolic adnormalities are associate with greater risk of mortality. Require vasopressor to maintain MAP of 65mmHg and serum lactate level great than 2 mmol/l in the absence of hypovolemia
