Blood test for sepsis in adult burn patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether certain blood tests can accurately detect sepsis in adults with burns. It might help doctors diagnose and treat sepsis faster in burn intensive care patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Admitted to the Burn Intensive Care Unit with burns covering at least 10% of your body
- Having a blood culture because your doctor suspects sepsis (like fever or unstable blood pressure)
- Able to provide written consent or have a legal representative do it for you
- Not pregnant
- No long-term use of immunosuppressant drugs or conditions that affect your immune system

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 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 data from burn patients to build a better tool for predicting sepsis, a serious infection. If you qualify, your participation could help improve care for future burn patients.
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 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 study looks at blood markers and a clinical score to help predict the risk of death in people with sepsis in the ICU. It may help doctors identify who needs more aggressive treatment.
