Intensive Care MedPublished Narrative review

Authors' conclusion

This suggests that future clinical trials that take a precision medicine approach will have a higher likelihood of identifying effective therapeutics for patients based on their subphenotype.

Study context

Population
Critically ill patients with sepsis

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Machine learning plus improved understanding of sepsis biology has identified patient subphenotypes
  • Re-analyses of completed trials: patients with different subphenotypes may respond differently to treatments
  • Review describes emerging subphenotypes in the critically ill and promising immune modulation therapies that could benefit some subphenotypes
