脓毒症的救治是阻碍重症医学临床诊疗水平提高的重要难题,关键问题在于其高度异质性导致的个体化治疗策略不足。人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)的应用为破解这一难题提供了新的方向。本文梳理了脓毒症的定义和诊疗现状,剖析了AI对脓毒症诊疗的创新性推动作用与面临的挑战,探讨了AI赋能脓毒症诊疗的未来方向与发展前景。本文认为,推动临床医学与生物学、数据科学及计算机科学等多领域合作,借助AI工具整合多组学、多维度数据,实施富集策略破解脓毒症的生物学异质性,是开展精准医疗的重要前提,也是满足脓毒症早期诊疗与精准治疗需求的创新途径。
The management of sepsis remains a critical challenge hindering the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment in critical care medicine,with the core issue of the inadequacy of individualized treatment strategies due to its high heterogeneity. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) provides a new direction for addressing this challenge. This article reviews the definition of sepsis and the current status of sepsis diagnosis and treatment,analyzes the innovative role of AI in promoting sepsis management and related challenges,and explores the future directions and prospects of AI‑empowered sepsis management. This article posits that promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among clinical medicine, biology, data science, and computer science, and leveraging AI tools to integrate multi-omics and multi-dimensional data for implementing enrichment strategies to decipher the biological heterogeneity of sepsis, constitute a crucial prerequisite for advancing precision medicine. It also represents an innovative approach to meet the demands for early diagnosis, treatment, and precise management of sepsis.
