Dear Colleagues, We've had a challenge during abstraction.
We are abstracting ~ 20 cases per month and a significant number have SIRS readily attributable to something other than an infection. Examples: AECOPD; Cardiac Arrest, STEMI, Status Epilepticus this past month. Do any of you have a process in place to ensure that SIRS is being appropriately attributed to an infection or suspected infection prior to or during abstraction??
