Sepsis continues to be a global threat affecting mainly neonate and immunocompromised with high complications and mortality rates.Even with the availability of increasingly sophisticated diagnostic tests and therapeutic approaches, the current ability to identify patients in whom sepsis will develop remains low, partly attributable to the fact that this condition is polymorphic and progresses quickly.Taking part in this research is the application of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve sepsis early diagnosis and management.The research also focuses on outcome estimation by comparing the advanced models, specifically the CNN-LSTM architecture based on time series clinic variables, vital signs, and laboratory results.The CNN-LSTM model showed higher accurate, precise, recall and AUC-ROC than other models in all datasets to provide early recognition of sepsis onset before the clinical sign is more prominent.How clinical pathways need to be interoperated with AI solutions with an aim of supporting interventions whenever necessary and enhance client experiences.Further, this research explores crucial issues: data preprocessing, model explain ability, and clinician endorsement with the focus on the methods, quality of training, and essential ethical aspects that should be considered.Here, the paper applies the strengths of AI-the capacity to identify nuanced patterns and update one's mode of thinking-to advance the research field of predictive health care.Building on these insights, subsequent advancements focus on the AI and DL in sepsis diagnosis, and treatment option with an inclusion on adverse effects vulnerable groups.
