suspicion-of-infection

What problem does it solve?

This concept identifies when clinicians suspected infection based on antibiotic administration and culture timing, enabling cohort construction for Sepsis-3 and infection research.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Detect suspected infection events by linking antibiotic administrations to culture collections within defined windows (72 hours before antibiotic and 24 hours after).
• Support Sepsis-3 cohorts, antibiotic stewardship studies, time-to-treatment analyses, and infection onset timing research.
• Provide dataset-agnostic guidance for implementing the infection-suspicion logic across MIMIC-IV, eICU, and similar ICU datasets.

Quick Start

Run the suspicion_of_infection workflow on your dataset to identify suspected infection events by matching antibiotic administrations with cultures within the defined windows.
