Abstract

Background: Up to 11% of critically ill patients with sepsis have an unknown source, where the pathogen and site of infection are unclear. The aim of this scoping review is to document currently reported diagnostic criteria of sepsis of unknown origin (SUO) and identify the types and breadth of existing evidence supporting diagnostic processes to identify the infection source in critically ill patients with suspected SUO. Methods: A literature search of Embase, MEDLINE and PubMed for published studies from 1910 to August 19, 2021 addressing the topic of SUO was performed. Study type, country of origin according to World Bank classification, diagnostic criteria of sepsis of unknown origin, and investigative approaches were extracted from the studies. Results: From an initial 722 studies, 89 unique publications fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included for full text review. The most common publication type was case report/series 45/89 (51%). Only 10/89 (11%) of studies provided a diagnostic criteria of SUO, but a universally accepted diagnostic criterion was not identified. The included studies discussed 30/89 (34%) history, 23/89 (26%) examination, 57/89 (64%) imaging, microbiology 39/89 (44%), and special tests 32/89 (36%) as part of the diagnostic processes in patients with SUO. Conclusions: Universally accepted diagnostic criteria for SUO was not found. Prospective studies on investigative processes in critically ill patients managed as SUO across different healthcare settings are needed to understand the epidemiology and inform the diagnostic criteria required to diagnose SUO.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the characteristics, treatment methodologies and outcomes of critically ill patients with 2009 Influenza A (H1N1) infection in Canada. The results indicate that critical illness in such cases occurred after admission to hospital and was found among young adults and needed prolonged mechanical ventilation and other rescue therapies.
