Template:ICD10 Guideline Sepsis
This template info about coding sepsis to keep it consistent across pages.
To use:
- {{ICD10 Guideline Sepsis}}
Excludes: Only code one of Shock, septic or Severe sepsis, do not code them together. Sepsis comes in two 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
The cause of the sepsis can be proven infection or presumed infection. Positive cultures are not required.
Collection criteria:
- acute failure of one of more organs in the setting of infection, and presumably due to the infection. The official definition of this per the SEPSIS-3 guidelines is an acute increase in the SOFA score by 2 or more.

We had decided to shelve the discussion about using the SOFA score until after ICD10 (see SOFA scoring. So how will we collect this until then? |
- The 2016 consensus group defined the ORGAN DYSFUNCTION as an acute CHANGE from patient's baseline total SOFA score by 2 or more points -- where the baseline SOFA score can be assumed to be 0 in patients not known to have preexisting organ dysfunction.
