Quality standards for sepsis in people under 16 and for people who are or have recently been pregnant will publish when paediatric and maternity early warning score tools are reviewed for the next update to the NICE guidelines in 2026.

The company is working with regulatory agencies on this withdrawal, and is in the process of notifying healthcare professionals and clinical trial investigators. As a result of this, NICE has withdrawn its guidance on the use of drotrecogin alfa (activated) for severe sepsis.
