Question

  1. What is the clinical utility of screening triage tools and/or management algorithms in adult patients in the emergency department with suspected sepsis?
  2. What is the clinical utility of screening triage tools and/or management algorithms in adult inpatients with suspected sepsis?
  3. What are the evidence-based guidelines regarding the use of screening triage tools and/or management algorithms in adult inpatients with suspected sepsis?

Key Message

One health technology assessment, six systematic reviews (two with meta-analyses), one randomized controlled trial, and 11 non-randomized controlled studies were identified regarding the clinical utility of screening triage tools and management algorithms in adult patients with suspected sepsis. Six evidence-based guidelines were identified regarding the use of screening triage tools and management algorithms in adult patients with suspected sepsis.
