Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Better understanding of sepsis pathophysiology (trajectory from early inflammatory onset to late persisting immunosuppression) is mandatory to define the place of biomarkers

  2. Develop time-resolved tests to characterise persistence of immunological dysfunction

  3. Consider age-related differences between adult and paediatric septic patients

  4. Biomarker-guided interventions (e.g. sTREM-1-guided Nangibotide, Adrenomedullin-guided Enibarcimab) appear promising but require further evaluation

  5. Biomarker development requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach with the most advanced analytical tools, a platform merging scientific and commercial needs, and support of an expedited regulatory approval process
