Abstract

The publication of the Phoenix criteria for pediatric sepsis and septic shock initiates a new era in clinical care and research of pediatric sepsis. Tools to consistently and accurately apply the Phoenix criteria to electronic health records (EHRs) is one part of building a robust and internally consistent body of research across multiple research groups and datasets. We developed the phoenix R package and Python module to provide researchers with intuitive and simple functions to apply the Phoenix criteria to EHR data. The phoenix R package and Python module enable researchers to apply the Phoenix criteria to EHR datasets and derive the relevant indicators, total scores, and sub-scores. The transition to the Phoenix criteria marks a major change in the conceptual definition of pediatric sepsis. Applicable across differentially resourced settings, the Phoenix criteria should help improve clinical care and research. The phoenix R package and Python model are freely available on CRAN, PyPi, and GitHub. These tools enable the consistent and accurate application of the Phoenix criteria to EHR datasets.
