Phoenix Criteria for Pediatric Sepsis and Septic Shock—Reply
In Reply We are grateful to Dr Thadani and colleagues for their interest in our work and applaud their efforts to improve outcomes from AKI around the world. We agree that AKI is important to assess and treat in children with sepsis in any environment and that children in some less-resourced environments are particularly vulnerable to AKI. However, we respectfully disagree with their statement that “shortcomings void the criteria used and perpetuate the neglect of children living in these settings.”
