sepsis-3-cohort

What problem does it solve?

Identify Sepsis-3 patients using the consensus definition (SOFA >= 2 + suspected infection) to enable cohort studies, outcome research, and quality metrics in ICU datasets.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Sepsis-3 based cohort selection: Combine suspected infection timing with SOFA scores to flag eligible patients.
• ICU-focused data handling: Acknowledge ICU data limitations, baseline SOFA assumptions, and timing windows for onset.
• Cross-dataset applicability: Valid across datasets like MIMIC-IV and eICU, with notes on implementation differences.
• Use Case: Build cohorts for sepsis outcomes analysis and benchmarking.

Quick Start

Run the sepsis-3 extraction pipeline to identify ICU patients with suspected infection and SOFA >= 2 within the defined window around onset.
