Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Clinical priority 1

    Best strategy for screening and identification of sepsis; can predictive modeling assist real-time recognition?

  2. Clinical priority 2

    What causes organ injury and dysfunction in sepsis, how should it be defined and detected?

  3. Clinical priority 3

    How should fluid resuscitation be individualized initially and beyond?

  4. Clinical priority 4

    Best vasopressor approach for the different phases of septic shock?

  5. Clinical priority 5

    Can a personalized/precision medicine approach identify optimal therapies to improve outcomes?

  6. Basic science priority 1

    How to improve animal models to more closely resemble human sepsis?

  7. Basic science priority 2

    Which outcome variables maximize correlations between human sepsis and animal models?

  8. Basic science priority 3

    How does sepsis affect the brain, how do brain alterations contribute to organ dysfunction, and how does sepsis affect neural, endocrine and immune interactions?

  9. Basic science priority 4

    How does the microbiome affect sepsis pathobiology?

  10. Basic science priority 5

    How do genetics and epigenetics influence sepsis development, course and treatment response?
