• phoenix_respiratory()

• phoenix() - this is a wrapper function for applying the four-system Phoenix criteria (respiratory, cardiovascular, coagulation, and neurologic). The return is a data.frame with each of the four organ dysfunction scores, a total score, and indicators for sepsis (score ≥ 2), and septic shock (sepsis with cardiovascular dysfunction).

• phoenix8() - a wrapper about all eight organ systems and returns the same data.frame as phoenix() with the additional columns for the other four organ systems and the Phoenix-8 total score.

• vignette("phoenix") has details on the expected inputs, example use, and expected outputs.

• sepsis is a 20 row by 27 column data.frame of example data used to illustrate the use of the phoenix R package.
