Blood tests for diagnosing sepsis in adult burn patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing how well certain blood tests can detect sepsis (a severe infection in the blood) in adults with burns. If you are in the burn ICU with a significant burn and your doctors suspect sepsis, your blood test results may help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be admitted to the burn intensive care unit (BICU) with a burn covering at least 10% of your total body surface area.
- You must be scheduled for a blood culture because your doctors suspect sepsis (a severe infection in the blood).
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must not have conditions that affect your immune system, such as long-term use of immunosuppressants or congenital immunodeficiency.
- You must be able to provide written consent, either yourself or through a legally authorized representative.

This study tests a blood test called presepsin to see how well it detects sepsis in people with severe burns. If you have burns covering at least 20% of your body and your doctor suspects sepsis, this trial may help improve early diagnosis and treatment.
This study tracks blood markers of infection in severely burned patients in the ICU. The goal is to see if these markers can help doctors detect sepsis earlier and guide treatment.
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 collects tissue and blood samples from burn patients to improve a computer model that predicts sepsis (a severe infection). The goal is to help doctors identify and treat sepsis earlier in burn patients.
This study is testing a blood test that may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster. It involves people with sepsis and healthy volunteers to compare results.
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.
