Epidemiology of sepsis and septic shock in intensive care units between sepsis-2 and sepsis-3 populations: sepsis prognostication in intensive care unit and emergency room (SPICE-ICU)

Better criteria might be developed by better selection and combination of elements in both definitions.Trial registrationUMIN000027452
