Using frailty scores to predict death in ICU sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks whether a “frailty” rating (how physically/mentally vulnerable someone is) can predict the risk of death in ICU patients with sepsis shock. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients earlier and tailor care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your age is 18 to 65 years
- You are currently in intensive care (resuscitation unit)
- You were admitted for suspected or confirmed sepsis (a serious body-wide infection)
- You need medicines called vasopressors to keep blood pressure up (MAP over 65)
- Your lactate level on admission is at least 2 mmol/L
- You are not in a situation where you are “moribund” (expected to die very soon)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether certain proteins in the blood can help predict if people who survive sepsis will have long-term thinking or memory issues. It aims to identify those at higher risk early so they can get the right support.
This study looks at how frailty affects older adults (70+) after a stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It aims to see if frailty helps predict the chances of survival, disability, and quality of life a year later.
This trial looks at ways to help “frailty” (low strength and resilience) in people staying in intensive care units. It mainly enrolls adults who expect to be in the ICU for more than 24 hours, and it tries to avoid people whose mobility problems have other causes.
This study observes how doctors treat septic shock in intensive care units. It aims to understand current practices and improve care for patients with severe infections and low blood pressure.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids and blood pressure medicines in patients with septic shock. It aims to find if using a specific blood flow measurement (capillary refill time) can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This study checks whether information collected routinely in the ICU can help doctors recognize sepsis or septic shock earlier. If it works, it may improve how quickly diagnosis happens and potentially outcomes for patients.
