Summary
Broad definitions of sepsis and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome were proposed, along with detailed physiologic parameters by which a patient may be categorized, and the use of severity scoring methods when dealing with septic patients was recommended as an adjunctive tool to assess mortality.
