What problem does it solve?
The Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) Criteria Calculation provides a dataset-ready method to quantify systemic inflammation in ICU patients, enabling historical sepsis research and comparisons across definitions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Score 0-4: Compute the SIRS score and per-component scores (temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, WBC) for each ICU stay, using the first day data and imputation rules.
- Dataset readiness: Includes explicit guidance and references for MIMIC-IV derived tables (mimiciv_derived.sirs) and cross-definition comparisons with Sepsis-3; notes on eICU availability.
- Use cases: Historical sepsis studies, inflammatory-response quantification, and legacy quality metrics; supports dataset-agnostic usage with context on pediatric thresholds where applicable.
Quick Start
Run the SIRS calculation on your ICU dataset to generate per-stay scores (0-4) and component breakdowns.
