Scoring systems in sepsis protocols. Discussion about the trial protocol of supplemental immunoglobulin therapy in sepsis and septic shock
(1994) In Theoretical Surgery 9(1). p.17-19- Abstract
When performing a protocol as in the study of Pilz et al. '...immunoglobulin therapy in sepsis and septic shock...' it is necessary to differentiate between those patients with generalized inflammation and those with bacterial sepsis. The Sepsis Severity Score and the Apache II score are mentioned as being insufficient to identify patients with bacterial sepsis. A proposal is formulated to use clinical data to collect patients with bacterial sepsis, to use the Apache II score for severity of disease, and to use a multiple organ failure score for follow-up.
