Revising Host Phenotypes of Sepsis Using Microbiology

Background: There is wide heterogeneity in sepsis in causative pathogens, host response, organ dysfunction, and outcomes. Clinical and biologic phenotypes of sepsis are proposed, but the role of pathogen data on sepsis classification is unknown.Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the Recom...

In the host model, alpha type (N = 327, 19%) was younger and had less shock; beta type (N=518, 31%) was older with more comorbidities; gamma type (N = 532, 32%) had more pulmonary dysfunction; delta type (N = 313, 19%) had more liver, renal and hematologic dysfunction and shock.

When microbiology data were added, the contribution of individual variables to phenotypes showed greater change for beta and gamma types. In beta type, the proportion of abdominal infections (from 20 to 40%) increased, while gamma type patients had an increased rate of lung infections (from 50 to 78%) with worsening pulmonary function.
