Meta AnalysisCentral Venous Oxygen Saturation for Estimating Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation and Cardiac Index in the ICU: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
The objectives of our systematic review and meta-analyses were to determine the diagnostic accuracy of central venous oxygen saturation (Scv o2 ) in estimating mixed venous oxygen saturation (Sv o2 ) and cardiac index in critically ill patients. ⋯ There is moderate reliability for Scv o2 in predicting Sv o2 in critical care patients with variability based on sampling site and presence of sepsis. There is limited evidence on the independent use of Scv o2 in predicting cardiac index.

Randomized Controlled TrialModulation of Metabolomic Profile in Sepsis According to the State of Immune Activation.
To investigate the metabolomic profiles associated with different immune activation states in sepsis patients. ⋯ Findings suggest distinct metabolic dysregulation patterns associated with different immune dysfunctions in sepsis: the strongest metabolic dysregulation is associated with MALS.

ReviewExploring heterogeneity of treatment effect in patients with sepsis: Protocol for a scoping review.
The average treatment effect (ATE) reported by most randomised clinical trials provides estimates of treatment effects for the theoretical, non-existent average patient. However, ATE may not accurately reflect the outcomes for all subsets of the trial population; some individuals may benefit from the intervention, while others experience worse outcomes or no effect at all. Heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) is the non-random and explainable variation in the magnitude or direction of a treatment effect among individuals within a population. Predictive approaches to HTE seek to provide estimates of which treatment of choice is better suited for the individual patient, using regression and/or machine learning techniques. This scoping review aims to investigate the extent to which such predictive approaches to HTE are applied to data from trials on sepsis or septic shock as well as the results of these analyses. ⋯ The planned scoping review will systematically investigate, summarise and delineate the existing evidence of analysis of HTE in trials on sepsis or septic shock patients as well as their findings, when performed using predictive approaches.

Meta AnalysisDoor-to-antibiotic time and mortality in patients with sepsis: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
To evaluate whether the timing of initial antibiotic administration in patients with sepsis in hospital affects mortality. ⋯ Our findings show an improvement in mortality in sepsis patients with early administration of antibiotics at <3 and <6 hrs. Thus, these results suggest that antibiotics should be administered within 3 hrs of sepsis recognition or ED arrival regardless of the presence or absence of shock.
