Hospitalized patients with COVID in 2020 had autoantibodies to interferons, impairing their ability to fight the virus, and ACE2, which affected their ability to regulate inflammation. Probably helps to explain the huge mortality reduction that we saw with corticosteroids #IDSky

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.
