Additional Info

  • Even though as of November 2017 ICD-10 has not yet been modified to reflect it, we are using the 2016 consensus definition of sepsis and septic shock (JAMA 315(8):801-10, 2016). These new definitions completely do away with talking about the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS). In the 2016 definitions we have just 2 subcategories:
    • Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection -- NOTE this was the 2001 definition of "severe sepsis"
    • Septic shock is a subset of sepsis in which profound circulatory, cellular and metabolic abnormalities are associated with a greater risk of mortality than with sepsis alone
  • For these the cause is proven infection, OR presumed infection -- thus positive cultures are not required.
  • The 2016 consensus group defined the ORGAN DYSFUNCTION as an acute CHANGE from patient's baseline total SOFA score by >2 points -- where the baseline SOFA score can be assumed to be 0 in patients not known to have preexisting organ dysfunction.
  • Here is the SOFA scoring:
    • 0 1 2 3 4
    • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    • PaO2/FIO2 >=400 <400 <300 <200 <100
    • Platelet count >=150 <150 <100 <50 <20
    • Serum bilirubin (uM) <20 20-32 33-101 102-204 >204
    • Cardiovascular MAP>=70 MAP<70
    • GCS 15 13-14 10-12 6-9 <6
    • Serum creatinine (uM) <110 110-170 171-299 300-440 >440
    • Urine output (mL/day) <500 <200


Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

Candidate Combined ICD10 codes

  • Also code the causative infection.
