    (Wolters Kluwer, 2023) Sanchez-Pinto, L. Nelson; Bennett, Tellen D.; Stroup, Emily K.; Luo, Yuan; Atreya, Mihir; Bubeck Wardenburg, Juliane; Chong, Grace; Geva, Alon; Faustino, E.

    Objectives: Untangling the heterogeneity of sepsis in children and identifying clinically relevant phenotypes could lead to the development of targeted therapies. Our aim was to analyze the organ dysfunction trajectories of children with sepsis-associated multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) to identify reproducible and clinically relevant sepsis phenotypes and determine if they are associated with heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) to common therapies. Design: Multicenter observational cohort study. Setting: Thirteen PICUs in the United States. Patients: Patients admitted with suspected infections to the PICU between 2012 and 2018. Interventions: None. Measurements and main results: We used subgraph-augmented nonnegative matrix factorization to identify candidate trajectory-based phenotypes based on the type, severity, and progression of organ dysfunction in the first 72 hours. We analyzed the candidate phenotypes to determine reproducibility as well as prognostic, therapeutic, and biological relevance. Overall, 38,732 children had suspected infection, of which 15,246 (39.4%) had sepsis-associated MODS with an in-hospital mortality of 10.1%. We identified an organ dysfunction trajectory-based phenotype (which we termed persistent hypoxemia, encephalopathy, and shock) that was highly reproducible, had features of systemic inflammation and coagulopathy, and was independently associated with higher mortality. In a propensity score-matched analysis, patients with persistent hypoxemia, encephalopathy, and shock phenotype appeared to have HTE and benefit from adjuvant therapy with hydrocortisone and albumin. When compared with other high-risk clinical syndromes, the persistent hypoxemia, encephalopathy, and shock phenotype only overlapped with 50%-60% of patients with septic shock, moderate-to-severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome, or those in the top tier of organ dysfunction burden, suggesting that it represents a nonsynonymous clinical phenotype of sepsis-associated MODS. Conclusions: We derived and validated the persistent hypoxemia, encephalopathy, and shock phenotype, which is highly reproducible, clinically relevant, and associated with HTE to common adjuvant therapies in children with sepsis.

    Derivation, validation, and transcriptomic assessment of pediatric septic shock phenotypes identified through latent profile analyses: Results from a prospective multi-center observational cohort
    (Research Square, 2023-12-06) Atreya, Mihir R.; Huang, Min; Moore, Andrew R.; Zheng, Hong; Hasin-Brumshtein, Yehudit; Fitzgerald, Julie C.; Weiss, Scott L.; Cvijanovich, Natalie Z.; Bigham, Michael T.; Jain, Parag N.; Schwarz, Adam J.; Lutfi, Riad; Nowak, Jeffrey; Thomas, Neal J.; Quasney, Michael; Dahmer, Mary K.; Baines, Torrey; Haileselassie, Bereketeab; Lautz, Andrew J.; Stanski, Natalja L.; Standage, Stephen W.; Kaplan, Jennifer M.; Zingarelli, Basilia; Sweeney, Timothy E.; Khatri, Purvesh; Sanchez-Pinto, L. Nelson; Kamaleswaran, Rishikesan; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Background: Sepsis poses a grave threat, especially among children, but treatments are limited due to clinical and biological heterogeneity among patients. Thus, there is an urgent need for precise subclassification of patients to guide therapeutic interventions. Methods: We used clinical, laboratory, and biomarker data from a prospective multi-center pediatric septic shock cohort to derive phenotypes using latent profile analyses. Thereafter, we trained a support vector machine model to assign phenotypes in a hold-out validation set. We tested interactions between phenotypes and common sepsis therapies on clinical outcomes and conducted transcriptomic analyses to better understand the phenotype-specific biology. Finally, we compared whether newly identified phenotypes overlapped with established gene-expression endotypes and tested the utility of an integrated subclassification scheme. Findings: Among 1,071 patients included, we identified two phenotypes which we named 'inflamed' (19.5%) and an 'uninflamed' phenotype (80.5%). The 'inflamed' phenotype had an over 4-fold risk of 28-day mortality relative to those 'uninflamed'. Transcriptomic analysis revealed overexpression of genes implicated in the innate immune response and suggested an overabundance of developing neutrophils, pro-T/NK cells, and NK cells among those 'inflamed'. There was no significant overlap between endotypes and phenotypes. However, an integrated subclassification scheme demonstrated varying survival probabilities when comparing endophenotypes. Interpretation: Our research underscores the reproducibility of latent profile analyses to identify clinical and biologically informative pediatric septic shock phenotypes with high prognostic relevance. Pending validation, an integrated subclassification scheme, reflective of the different facets of the host response, holds promise to inform targeted intervention among those critically ill.

    Objectives: We sought to update our 2015 work in the Second Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference (PALICC-2) guidelines for the diagnosis and management of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), considering new evidence and topic areas that were not previously addressed. Design: International consensus conference series involving 52 multidisciplinary international content experts in PARDS and four methodology experts from 15 countries, using consensus conference methodology, and implementation science. Setting: Not applicable. Patients: Patients with or at risk for PARDS. Interventions: None. Measurements and main results: Eleven subgroups conducted systematic or scoping reviews addressing 11 topic areas: 1) definition, incidence, and epidemiology; 2) pathobiology, severity, and risk stratification; 3) ventilatory support; 4) pulmonary-specific ancillary treatment; 5) nonpulmonary treatment; 6) monitoring; 7) noninvasive respiratory support; 8) extracorporeal support; 9) morbidity and long-term outcomes; 10) clinical informatics and data science; and 11) resource-limited settings. The search included MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL Complete (EBSCOhost) and was updated in March 2022. Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology was used to summarize evidence and develop the recommendations, which were discussed and voted on by all PALICC-2 experts. There were 146 recommendations and statements, including: 34 recommendations for clinical practice; 112 consensus-based statements with 18 on PARDS definition, 55 on good practice, seven on policy, and 32 on research. All recommendations and statements had agreement greater than 80%. Conclusions: PALICC-2 recommendations and consensus-based statements should facilitate the implementation and adherence to the best clinical practice in patients with PARDS. These results will also inform the development of future programs of research that are crucially needed to provide stronger evidence to guide the pediatric critical care teams managing these patients.

    External validation and biomarker assessment of a high-risk, data-driven pediatric sepsis phenotype characterized by persistent hypoxemia, encephalopathy, and shock
    (Research Square, 2023-08-02) Atreya, Mihir R.; Bennett, Tellen D.; Geva, Alon; Faustino, E. Vincent S.; Rogerson, Colin M.; Lutfi, Riad; Cvijanovich, Natalie Z.; Bigham, Michael T.; Nowak, Jeffrey; Schwarz, Adam J.; Baines, Torrey; Haileselassie, Bereketeab; Thomas, Neal J.; Luo, Yuan; Sanchez-Pinto, L. Nelson; Novel Data-Driven Sepsis Phenotypes in Children Study and the Genomics of Pediatric Septic Shock Investigators; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Objective: Identification of children with sepsis-associated multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) at risk for poor outcomes remains a challenge. Data-driven phenotyping approaches that leverage electronic health record (EHR) data hold promise given the widespread availability of EHRs. We sought to externally validate the data-driven 'persistent hypoxemia, encephalopathy, and shock' (PHES) phenotype and determine its association with inflammatory and endothelial biomarkers, as well as biomarker-based pediatric risk-strata. Design: We trained and validated a random forest classifier using organ dysfunction subscores in the EHR dataset used to derive the PHES phenotype. We used the classifier to assign phenotype membership in a test set consisting of prospectively enrolled pediatric septic shock patients. We compared biomarker profiles of those with and without the PHES phenotype and determined the association with established biomarker-based mortality and MODS risk-strata. Setting: 25 pediatric intensive care units (PICU) across the U.S. Patients: EHR data from 15,246 critically ill patients sepsis-associated MODS and 1,270 pediatric septic shock patients in the test cohort of whom 615 had biomarker data. Interventions: None. Measurements and main results: The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) of the new classifier to predict PHES phenotype membership was 0.91(95%CI, 0.90-0.92) in the EHR validation set. In the test set, patients with the PHES phenotype were independently associated with both increased odds of complicated course (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] of 4.1, 95%CI: 3.2-5.4) and 28-day mortality (aOR of 4.8, 95%CI: 3.11-7.25) after controlling for age, severity of illness, and immuno-compromised status. Patients belonging to the PHES phenotype were characterized by greater degree of systemic inflammation and endothelial activation, and overlapped with high risk-strata based on PERSEVERE biomarkers predictive of death and persistent MODS. Conclusions: The PHES trajectory-based phenotype is reproducible, independently associated with poor clinical outcomes, and overlap with higher risk-strata based on validated biomarker approaches.

    Identification and transcriptomic assessment of latent profile pediatric septic shock phenotypes
    (Springer Nature, 2024-07-17) Atreya, Mihir R.; Huang, Min; Moore, Andrew R.; Zheng, Hong; Hasin-Brumshtein, Yehudit; Fitzgerald, Julie C.; Weiss, Scott L.; Cvijanovich, Natalie Z.; Bigham, Michael T.; Jain, Parag N.; Schwarz, Adam J.; Lutfi, Riad; Nowak, Jeffrey; Thomas, Neal J.; Quasney, Michael; Dahmer, Mary K.; Baines, Torrey; Haileselassie, Bereketeab; Lautz, Andrew J.; Stanski, Natalja L.; Standage, Stephen W.; Kaplan, Jennifer M.; Zingarelli, Basilia; Sahay, Rashmi; Zhang, Bin; Sweeney, Timothy E.; Khatri, Purvesh; Sanchez-Pinto, L. Nelson; Kamaleswaran, Rishikesan; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Background: Sepsis poses a grave threat, especially among children, but treatments are limited owing to heterogeneity among patients. We sought to test the clinical and biological relevance of pediatric septic shock subclasses identified using reproducible approaches. Methods: We performed latent profile analyses using clinical, laboratory, and biomarker data from a prospective multi-center pediatric septic shock observational cohort to derive phenotypes and trained a support vector machine model to assign phenotypes in an internal validation set. We established the clinical relevance of phenotypes and tested for their interaction with common sepsis treatments on patient outcomes. We conducted transcriptomic analyses to delineate phenotype-specific biology and inferred underlying cell subpopulations. Finally, we compared whether latent profile phenotypes overlapped with established gene-expression endotypes and compared survival among patients based on an integrated subclassification scheme. Results: Among 1071 pediatric septic shock patients requiring vasoactive support on day 1 included, we identified two phenotypes which we designated as Phenotype 1 (19.5%) and Phenotype 2 (80.5%). Membership in Phenotype 1 was associated with ~ fourfold adjusted odds of complicated course relative to Phenotype 2. Patients belonging to Phenotype 1 were characterized by relatively higher Angiopoietin-2/Tie-2 ratio, Angiopoietin-2, soluble thrombomodulin (sTM), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and lower Tie-2 and Angiopoietin-1 concentrations compared to Phenotype 2. We did not identify significant interactions between phenotypes, common treatments, and clinical outcomes. Transcriptomic analysis revealed overexpression of genes implicated in the innate immune response and driven primarily by developing neutrophils among patients designated as Phenotype 1. There was no statistically significant overlap between established gene-expression endotypes, reflective of the host adaptive response, and the newly derived phenotypes, reflective of the host innate response including microvascular endothelial dysfunction. However, an integrated subclassification scheme demonstrated varying survival probabilities when comparing patient endophenotypes. Conclusions: Our research underscores the reproducibility of latent profile analyses to identify pediatric septic shock phenotypes with high prognostic relevance. Pending validation, an integrated subclassification scheme, reflective of the different facets of the host response, holds promise to inform targeted intervention among those critically ill.

    Prior criteria for organ dysfunction in critically ill children were based mainly on expert opinion. We convened the Pediatric Organ Dysfunction Information Update Mandate (PODIUM) expert panel to summarize data characterizing single and multiple organ dysfunction and to derive contemporary criteria for pediatric organ dysfunction. The panel was composed of 88 members representing 47 institutions and 7 countries. We conducted systematic reviews of the literature to derive evidence-based criteria for single organ dysfunction for neurologic, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, acute liver, renal, hematologic, coagulation, endocrine, endothelial, and immune system dysfunction. We searched PubMed and Embase from January 1992 to January 2020. Study identification was accomplished using a combination of medical subject headings terms and keywords related to concepts of pediatric organ dysfunction. Electronic searches were performed by medical librarians. Studies were eligible for inclusion if the authors reported original data collected in critically ill children; evaluated performance characteristics of scoring tools or clinical assessments for organ dysfunction; and assessed a patient-centered, clinically meaningful outcome. Data were abstracted from each included study into an electronic data extraction form. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. Consensus was achieved for a final set of 43 criteria for pediatric organ dysfunction through iterative voting and discussion. Although the PODIUM criteria for organ dysfunction were limited by available evidence and will require validation, they provide a contemporary foundation for researchers to identify and study single and multiple organ dysfunction in critically ill children.
