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)

This study looks at whether simple blood tests can help predict if people who have had sepsis will have thinking or memory problems later. If you are in the ICU with sepsis, this trial might help doctors understand your risk for long-term brain issues.
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 looks at how frailty (overall weakness and vulnerability) affects recovery, disability, and quality of life in older adults after a serious ICU stay. It aims to understand how pre-existing frailty influences outcomes to improve care for older ICU patients.
This study tracks how doctors treat septic shock in the ICU to learn what works best. If you have septic shock, joining this study helps researchers understand which treatments are most effective, and you'll get the same care you would anyway.
This study looks at whether frailty (weakness and vulnerability) can help predict the risk of bleeding in older patients who have had a heart attack. The goal is to better identify who might need extra monitoring or different treatments to prevent dangerous bleeding.
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.
