Notes from the source:
An admission for sepsis was identified as receiving advanced cardiovascular support if the number of calendar days of advanced cardiovascular support (recorded for the Critical Care Minimum Dataset) was at least one.
Sepsis was defined as meeting at least three of the four systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria during the first 24 hours following admission to the critical care unit, plus evidence of infection from the primary or secondary reason for admission to the critical care unit.
