Conditions
Summary
This study seeks to develop early recognition tools specially designed for children meeting the Phoenix definition and explore implementation science aspects by investigating facilitators and barriers to adopting Phoenix sepsis criteria in clinical practice. This addresses the critical need for systemic, evidence-based approaches to paediatric sepsis identification across diverse healthcare settings in Asia.

Interventions
Data Variables in the first 24 hours of hospital admission as per Phoenix Sepsis Score: Including that of respiratory function (PaO2:FiO2 and SpO2:FiO2 ratios, need for oxygen, high-flow, non-invasive or mechanical ventilation support), cardiovascular function (including need for vasoactive medications, lactate value and mean arterial pressure), coagulopathy (measured using platelets, International Normalized Ratio, D-dimer and Fibrinogen), neurologic dysfunction (measured with Glasgow Coma Scale and presence of fixed pupils), endocrine (blood glucose), immunologic (absolute neutrophil and absolute lymphocyte count), renal (creatinine levels) and hepatic (total bilirubin and alanine transaminase). Data from the Emergency Departments will need to be linked to inpatient records to obtain the worst values in each domain that occurred in the first 24 hours.
