<h3>Background</h3>Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection resulting in life-threatening organ failure. Although immune dysregulation is central to the sepsis definition, immunomodulation trials enrol participants based on clinical severity, not the extent of dysregulation, which could contribute to treatment heterogeneity. A pragmatic way to quantify immune dysregulation could improve prognostication, help to evaluate treatment responses, and identify individuals most likely to benefit from immunomodulation. We aimed to construct a parsimonious machine-learning tool that defines and quantifies immune dysregulation, thereby supporting biologically informed immunomodulation.<h3>Methods</h3>In this multicohort analysis and reanalysis of a randomised controlled trial, the primary objective was to derive and validate a categorical and continuous immune dysregulation score that is independent of clinical presentation or outcome. We measured 35 plasma biomarkers reflecting key host response domains in individuals with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) across different care settings (emergency department, general ward, and intensive care unit) and disease severities using data from three independent cohorts. We applied unsupervised trajectory inference analysis to identify an immune dysregulation gradient captured as discrete immune dysregulation stages (Dysregulated Immune Profile [DIP]) and a continuous score (cDIP; 0–1). We developed two parsimonious machine-learning models to predict the DIP stages and cDIP scores based on 35 biomarkers, and validated their ability to capture immune dysregulation and predict clinical outcomes in five independent cohorts. On the basis of our hypothesis that only individuals with severe immune dysregulation benefit from immunomodulation, we carried out a post-hoc analysis of a randomised trial evaluating hydrocortisone in severe CAP (CAPE COD trial, <span><span>NCT02517489</span><svg aria-label="Opens in new window" focusable="false" height="20" viewbox="0 0 8 8"><path d="M1.12949 2.1072V1H7V6.85795H5.89111V2.90281L0.784057 8L0 7.21635L5.11902 2.1072H1.12949Z"></path></svg></span>), assessing treatment effects across DIP stages and the cDIP continuum, and how hydrocortisone influenced dysregulation trajectories over time.<h3>Findings</h3>We organised 398 participants with CAP along a continuum of immune dysregulation from mild to severe on the basis of 35 plasma biomarkers, yielding three dysregulation stages (DIP1–3) and a continuous score (cDIP). Clinical severity proved to be an inadequate proxy for immune dysregulation. A three-biomarker machine-learning framework (procalcitonin, soluble TREM-1, and IL-6) accurately predicted the degree of dysregulation derived from 35 biomarkers (DIP stage accuracy 91·2%; cDIP root mean square error 0·056). Although the framework was not designed for outcome prediction, increased immune dysregulation—reflected in DIP and cDIP—was associated with a gradual rise in mor

<h3>Background</h3>Acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (ARF) is the leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission among immunocompromised patients. However, contemporary data regarding the epidemiology, management, and outcomes of ARF in this population remain scarce. We aimed to identify predictors of mortality and intubation in immunocompromised patients admitted to the ICU with ARF.<h3>Methods</h3>This retrospective observational study was conducted in 103 ICUs in 26 countries. Adults (≥18 years) with ARF and immunodeficiency were eligible for inclusion. Patient data, including information on the nature of underlying immunosuppression, the cause of ARF, and the oxygenation strategy, were obtained from electronic medical records or medical charts. The primary outcome was to report 30-day mortality and identify associated factors in patients with complete data for all variables. Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify variables associated with mortality, and differences between groups were compared with χ<sup>2</sup> tests or two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, with p values of less than 0·05 considered significant.<h3>Findings</h3>9854 immunocompromised patients with ARF admitted to participating ICUs between Jan 1, 2017, and Dec 31, 2023, were included in the study. The median age was 64 years (IQR 54–71); 3941 (40·0%) patients were female and 5913 (60·0%) were male. The main causes of immunodeficiency were a haematological malignancy (4759 [48·3%] of 9854 patients) or solid malignancy (3818 [38·7%] patients). Infection was the leading cause of ARF (6610 [62·0%] of 9854 patients); 5288 (53·7%) patients had more than one contributing cause of ARF, and no cause was identified in 1490 (15·1%) patients. The median partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO<sub>2</sub>)/fractional concentration of oxygen in inspired air (FiO<sub>2</sub>) ratio was 198 [IQR 141–208]. The 30-day mortality rate was 47·3% (4662 patients). Predictors of higher mortality were older age (hazard ratio 1·01 [IQR 1·00–1·02]), higher Charlson Comorbidity Index score (1·04 [1·01–1·07]), higher Frailty Index score (1·22 [1·16–1·28]), longer time from hospital to ICU admission (1·02 [1·01–1·03]), higher respiratory rate (1·02 [1·02–1·03]), coma at ICU admission (2·04 [1·72–2·43]), invasive fungal infection as cause of ARF (1·82 [1·45–2·28]), disease-specific infiltrates (1·73 [1·32–2·26]), unidentified cause of ARF (2·16 [1·74–2·68]), and use of vasoactive drugs (2·45 [2·10–2·86]) or renal replacement therapy (2·07 [1·74–2·48]). Protective factors included receipt of a solid organ transplant (0·62 [0·49–0·79]), systemic vasculitis or connective tissue disease (0·61 (0·47–0·78]), higher PaO<sub>2</sub>/FiO<sub>2</sub> ratio (0·78 [0·72–0·84]), receipt of high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (0·78 [0·64–0·95]), and cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (0·67 [0·51–0·89]).<h3>Interpretation</h3>In this large international cohort of immunocompromised patients with ARF,
