🦠Sampling for pathogens

Sepsis prediction is challenging
🔸Heterogeneity
🔸High AUROC ≠ High utility in clinical context
🔸Poor generalizability to different settings (units, department)

🔸Hypotension increases the risk of death
🔸Patients at risk of shock development are the target population (proactive🟡 rather than reactive🔴)
🔸But continuous monitoring is lacking because they are out of ICU
