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
background about 2016 sepsis consensus   
  • 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).
