The recommendation is to implement the new definitions and diagnostic criteria for sepsis and septic shock, but not the use of the new screening tool for sepsis, quick-SOFA, as it needs prospective validation and since it is not clear if quick-SOFA is more useful than the currently used general triage and early warning score systems. The group recommends the use of the sfollowing ICD-10 codes: R65.1 for sepsis and R57.2 for septic shock.
