Improving Sepsis Diagnosis in Pediatric Emergency Transfers
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a new toolkit to help doctors better diagnose sepsis in children during emergency transfer calls. It looks back at records and call recordings to see if the toolkit improves how sepsis is spotted early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is at least one month old.
- Your child was transferred to Children's Hospital Colorado for emergency or inpatient care.
- Your child had signs of sepsis (a serious body-wide infection) either at the referring ER, during transport, or within the first 6 hours after arriving at the hospital.
- If signs of sepsis appeared within 24 hours of arrival, three emergency doctors had to agree that sepsis was likely.
- The recording of your child's transfer call must be available in the study database.

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.
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 tests two new blood tests to see if they can help doctors find sepsis earlier in the emergency department. Sepsis is a serious condition where the body overreacts to an infection, and finding it quickly could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
This study uses special blood testing to learn what is happening in the immune system during sepsis in children and how it may relate to organ injury. Your results may help doctors recognize and treat sepsis earlier and more accurately.
This trial tests a new, faster way to find bacteria in the blood of children with suspected sepsis. It uses a molecular test that may give results sooner than standard cultures, helping doctors treat infections more quickly.
This trial tests whether a quick genetic test can help doctors choose the right treatment for patients with a suspected severe infection (sepsis) more quickly. The goal is to improve recovery by personalizing care based on your body's response.
