1. This study and therefore this calculator, is applicable only to sepsis survivors, who had a sepsis-related critical illness at admission.
2. Although the study was informed by the systematic reviews highlighted, CMPD is based on first 24-hours data.
3. This score does NOT predict individual risk.
4. This risk based follow-up is not the currently accepted standard of care, and so there is no liability to individual clinicians or NHS trusts using (or not using) this calculator.
