Development of Pediatric Sepsis Criteria

The podcast discusses the formation of the International Pediatric Sepsis Definition Task Force to address the need for defining pediatric sepsis criteria. The task force aimed to update the criteria due to the significant impact of sepsis on childhood mortality worldwide. Previous attempts to define criteria date back to 2005, leading to confusion over the classification of sepsis in children. Collaborating with researchers and clinicians, the task force focused on creating globally applicable and clinically relevant criteria to address the burden of sepsis in pediatric patients.
