Abstract |
Correct classification of the source of infection is important in observational and interventional studies of sepsis. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria are most commonly used for this purpose, but the robustness of these definitions in critically ill patients is not known. We hypothesized that in a mixed ICU population, the performance of these criteria would be generally reduced and would vary among diagnostic subgroups. |
