Comparing two blood tests for sepsis in ICUs
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study compares two blood test measurements (neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and lactate/albumin ratio) to see which better predicts how severe an infection is in ICU patients with sepsis. It aims to find a simpler way to track inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You have a lung infection (like pneumonia) and are in the ICU.
- Doctors have confirmed you have sepsis (a serious infection response).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have cancer, severe liver or kidney problems, or had recent intestinal surgery.

This study is comparing two blood tests (Interleukin 6 and Procalcitonin) to find which is better at detecting sepsis (a serious infection) and predicting the risk of death in burn patients in the ICU. If you have moderate burns and are otherwise healthy, this trial could help improve care for burn victims.
This study compares two blood test methods to help predict sepsis (a severe infection) and patient outcomes in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients faster and more accurately.
This trial looks at patterns in certain immune cells (neutrophils) in people with sepsis in the ICU, including those who have a breathing tube. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system changes during sepsis and could guide future care.
This trial checks if certain blood markers (CRP, CRP/albumin ratio, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) can predict how well sepsis patients with normal blood pressure will do. It aims to help doctors better manage infections and survival.
This trial studies people with and without sepsis in the ICU to understand why some get very sick from infections. It aims to find better ways to predict who will have complications and guide treatment.
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.
