Predicting Sepsis-Related Shock Earlier: How AI Could Transform Critical Care In the ICU, minutes count — particularly for patients with sepsis, where a sudden drop in blood pressure can signal a dangerous turn. If care teams can see that change coming, even by a couple of hours, they can prepare, personalize treatment, and potentially prevent a crisis. That’s where interpretable, clinically grounded AI can help — turning routine hospital data into early warning signs.

Early, interpretable alerts can give clinicians valuable time to act.

A new study shows how predictive AI using routine ICU EHR data can anticipate #sepsis deterioration hours earlier, with potential application across critical care.

HPAI key figures for the current seasonal wave (Oct 2025 - Sep 2026) and the two previous waves (Oct 2023 - Sep 2024; Oct 2024 - Sep 2025). 01 Oct 2023 – 30 Sep 2024. Countries and territories reporting HPAI in poultry: 39 No. of HPAI outbreaks in poultry: 851 Countries and territories reporting HPAI in wild birds: 55 No. of HPAI outbreaks in wild birds: 1,076 01 Oct 2024 – 30 Sep 2025 Countries and territories reporting HPAI in poultry: 51 No. of HPAI outbreaks in poultry: 1,432 Countries and territories reporting HPAI in wild birds: 55 No. of HPAI outbreaks in wild birds: 1,926 01 Oct 2025 – 28 Feb 2026 Countries and territories reporting HPAI in poultry: 38 No. of HPAI outbreaks in poultry: 1,147 Countries and territories reporting HPAI in wild birds: 47 No. of HPAI outbreaks in wild birds: 5,996

During February 2026, 124 new outbreaks in poultry were notified by 23 countries and territories (Argentina, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Montenegro, Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States of America). New outbreak statistics. Africa: 2. Americas: 53; Asia and the Pacific: 7; Europe 62. Cases statistics. Africa: 9,850; Americas: 8,435; Asia and the Pacific: 1,147; Europe: 521,486. Losses statistics. Africa: 9,850; Americas: 11,661,247; Asia and the Pacific: 647,510; Europe: 1,290,454.

During February 2026, 859 new outbreaks in non-poultry were notified by 34 countries and territories (Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea (Rep. of), Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay). This list corresponds to countries and territories that have notified cases in wild birds, mammals or domestic birds other than poultry. This explains why their numbers are different from those presented in the ‘HPAI key figures for the current seasonal wave and the two previous waves’ table, which does not cover domestic birds other than poultry.

The number of HPAI new outbreaks in non-poultry animals reported through WAHIS by geographical region during February 2026: Americas: 23 (all in in non-poultry birds). Asia and the Pacific: 6 (all in in non-poultry birds). Europe: 830 (all in non-poultry birds).
