UC-Davis Study Finds EHR Data Can Predict Sepsis Risk
Electronic health records can be used to predict the development of sepsis in an individual and his or her likely outcome if infected, according to a study by UC-Davis researchers. The study analyzed EHR data of 741 patients diagnosed with sepsis and found that vital signs and white blood cell counts can be used to accurately predict the illness.
