Some others:

Day shift versus night shift

Involvement of House supervisor

Involvement of leadership (unit manager, director)

Presence of CNO (ours shows up randomly)

Pharmacy review of antibiotic orders vs no pharmacy review (ours does not 
review ED orders)

Pharmacy consultation in antibiotic selection vs not

Just a few ideas,

Thank you,

Some additional potential variables that come to mind:

?         Pregnancy

?         Weekend ? versus ? weekday

?         Time of year (new residents, flu season)

?         Type of practitioner (mid-level, resident, etc?)

?         Known/unknown source of infection



If possible to include program-related variables, the following come to mind:

?         Nurse-initiated protocol

?         Electronic screening/alert system (EMR-based)

?         Code Sepsis protocol

?         Broad spectrum antibiotic in automated dispensing cabinet

?         Point of care lactate

?         Use of non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring equipment

?         EMS involvement in screening/protocol

?         Involvement of sepsis coordinator

Subject: [External] [Sepsis Groups] What variables influence compliance?

Dear All,

I?m working on developing a model to predict compliance with SEP-1.

I have a list below of variables that may be of interest, but I?m wondering if 
you might send me additional variables you think could be related.

Just to clarify, SEP-1 excludes transfers, CMO status.



  1.  Age at admission
  2.  Sex
  3.  Ethnicity (Hispanic)
  4.  Race
  5.  Initial hypotension (triggers fluid requirement, thus an opportunity to 
fail to comply)
  6.  Persistent hypotension (triggers vasopressors, thus an opportunity to 
fail to comply)
  7.  Septic shock
  8.  Lactate > 2 (triggers a repeat lactate, thus another opportunity to fail 
to comply)
  9.  Lactate > 4 (triggers shock as well as fluid administration = 
opportunities to fail to comply)
  10. Already on antibiotics prior to time of presentation (makes it easier to 
comply)
  11. Already had blood cultures collected prior to time of presentation (makes 
it easier to comply)
  12. CHF (less likely to comply given known physician behavior)
  13. Cardiomyopathy (less likely to comply given known physician behavior)
  14. ESRD (less likely to comply given known physician behavior)
  15. Morbid Obesity (less likely to comply given known physician behavior)
  16. Cirrhosis (less likely to comply given know physician behavior)
  17. Admitted during the day (more likely to comply given staff present)
  18. Admit type (Emergent, urgent, elective)
  19. Presence of an advanced directive
  20. Qualification to receive Medicare benefits (disabled, ESRD, old age)
  21. Type of insurance (Medicare part D implies more access to drugs, Medicare 
Part B implies better outpatient care, Medicare part C = better managed care)
  22. Surgery during the hospitalization
  23. Admit from SNF versus home
  24. DRG assigned
  25. Primary diagnosis
  26. Secondary diagnosis
  27. Zip code
  28. State

Sean
