    Sepsis is a leading global health crisis, affecting 49 million individuals and resulting in 11 million deaths annually.

  • 2

    Gram-negative sepsis (GNS) has high mortality rates, particularly in ICU patients, necessitating improved predictive models.

  • 3

    Current predictive scoring systems for sepsis often lack integration of key clinical predictors, limiting their effectiveness.

  • 4

    The SCRAPS scoring system aims to incorporate patient-centric factors to better predict poor outcomes in GNS patients.

  • 5

    This study adheres to ethical standards and utilizes a retrospective observational design to analyze GNS patient data.
