In phoenix: The Phoenix Pediatric Sepsis and Septic Shock Criteria

The Organ Dysfunction Scoring for the Phoenix Criteria. The Phoenix sepsis criteria are based on the Phoenix Sepsis Score, which includes respiratory, cardiovascular, coagulation, and neurologic dysfunction; Phoenix-8 is based on those four organ systems plus endocrine, immunologic, renal, and hepatic dysfunction. Sepsis is defined as a Phoenix Sepsis Score ≥ 2. Septic Shock is defined as sepsis with at least one cardiovascular point. The limits reported in this table reflect the implementation of the criteria in software whereas the comparable published tables report the criteria from a clinical perspective.[@sanchezpinto_2024_development;@schlapback_2024_international] The two presentations of the criteria are consistent in practice.
