Thaks for your gret job on SEPSIS-3

I still have a question about the definition and of Suspected infection time.
The following definitions hold:

"Identify suspected infection by using concomitant orders for blood cultures and antibiotics (oral or parenteral) in a specified period"
Singer M, Deutschmann CS, Seymour CW, et al. The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3) JAMA. 2016;315(8):801–810.

"We required the combination of culture and antibiotic start time to occur within a specific time epoch. If the antibiotic was given first, the culture sampling must have been obtained within 24 hours. If the culture sampling was first, the antibiotic must have been ordered within 72 hours."
Seymour CW, Liu VX, Iwashyna TJ, et al. Assessment of Clinical Criteria for Sepsis for the Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3) JAMA. 2016;315(8):762–774.

Still, the blood-culture-icu-admit.sql query takes data from the MICROBIOLOGYEVENTS table, which seems to collect culture results.
Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help
Simone
