Toward an Epidemiology and Natural History of SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome)

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Patients with severe SIRS should not be assumed to have gram-negative infection; furthermore, data derived from studies of patients with gram-negative infection should be applied cautiously to all patients with SIRS. Studies of patients with sepsis or SIRS should include at least a 1-month follow-up if mortality is an end point. More consistent definitions of these disorders should permit more effective comparisons across studies.
