Early sepsis detection trial at University of Maryland hospitals
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new early warning system (SEPSys and RESCUE scores) to spot sepsis before it gets serious. If you're an adult in a University of Maryland hospital without sepsis, the system may help your doctors act faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older at the time of admission.
- You need to be staying overnight in a participating University of Maryland Medical System hospital unit.
- Your care team must be using a special score (SEPSys or RESCUE Score) to check your risk.
- You cannot have been diagnosed with sepsis already during this hospital stay.

This trial is testing a new tool that uses artificial intelligence and biomarkers (substances in your blood) to help doctors recognize sepsis earlier. If you have been diagnosed with sepsis or are suspected of having it, this study may help improve how quickly and accurately it's detected.
This study looks at how a measurement from a bedside heart ultrasound changes while treating people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand how to monitor response to treatment using a quick ultrasound test.
This study looks at whether automatically flagging a sepsis risk score in the electronic health record and having a care team respond with structured steps helps treat sepsis earlier. If you qualify, everything is done through your usual care — you won't have extra visits or be contacted by the research team.
This trial is looking for patients who have an infection and are showing early signs of getting sicker, like a high warning score. It aims to find out if doctors can identify those at risk of sepsis sooner so they can start treatment earlier.
This study aims to find new ways to quickly diagnose sepsis (a severe response to infection) in patients arriving at the emergency room. If successful, these new tests could help doctors start treatment faster.
This trial checks if a new tool can help doctors spot sepsis early in children. If your child is under 18, had a blood culture, and received strong antibiotics within the first day in the hospital, they may qualify.
