The sepsis diagnoses we code are used very specifically by Dr. Anand Kumar's research.
- Septic Shock - (ie sepsis with shock) is the priority code if present.
- Severe Sepsis - (sepsis with organ failure other than shock) is the next priority code. You can only use one or the other, not both.
- Positive blood cultures which can be used with either other sepsis diagnosis (Severe sepsis, Shock, septic) or with other infections (urosepsis, pneumonia, etc.).
- ICD10: Bacteremia/Fungemia, NOS
- Old Dxs: Septicemia - See Bacteremia re why it isn't called that any more in ICD10
They should be coded as per the guidelines in their articles.
