Summary
This comment critiques echocardiographic phenotypes in sepsis identified by latent profile analysis. Methodological limitations may affect the clinical applicability of these sepsis subgroups.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Critical Care Medicine
- Medical Statistics
Background:
- Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.
- Echocardiography is crucial for assessing cardiac function in sepsis.
- Latent profile analysis has been used to identify potential sepsis phenotypes based on echocardiographic data.
