Lancet Study: AI Sepsis Prediction Reduces Mortality 18% in Multi-Hospital Deployment
Prospective multi-center trial published in The Lancet demonstrates AI-based sepsis prediction system reduces mortality by 18% and ICU length of stay by 2.3 days across 38 hospitals. System provides 6-hour early warning before traditional clinical deterioration.
