The literature search has yielded significant findings on AI-driven predictive models for the early detection of sepsis in ICU patients, with numerous studies demonstrating various machine learning techniques and their effectiveness in improving early detection and potentially enhancing patient outcomes [1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12].

• Papers such as [1] and [6] introduce AI models that utilize advanced neural network techniques and genetic algorithms, respectively, achieving high predictive accuracy and offering substantial improvements over traditional clinical methods by predicting sepsis several hours before onset. These results emphasize the potential of AI in transforming critical care by allowing earlier interventions.
• Other notable studies [10, 12] validate their models with real-world ICU data, integrating AI systems within clinical workflows which not only underscores the practical applicability but also addresses critical implementation challenges, making these references pivotal for understanding both the effectiveness and operational integration of AI in clinical settings.

The most important categories to highlight for this topic are those papers focusing directly on AI-driven predictive models for early sepsis detection in ICU patients, and those evaluating the implementation and challenges of such models. Additionally, it's beneficial to include categories that investigate the effectiveness of these models compared to traditional methods and discuss broader applications of AI in ICU settings related to sepsis detection.
