About this trial
This study seeks to develop early recognition tools specially designed for children meeting the Phoenix definition and explore implementation science aspects by investigating facilitators and barriers to adopting Phoenix sepsis criteria in clinical practice. This addresses the critical need for systemic, evidence-based approaches to paediatric sepsis identification across diverse healthcare settings in Asia.
