Predicting antibiotic resistance in emergency patients with sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at past patient records to build a tool that can predict whether sepsis infections are resistant to multiple antibiotics. If you had sepsis in the emergency department, your data may help improve treatment decisions for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You came to the emergency department during one of the specified time periods (2017–2020 or 2022–2025).
- You had sepsis or septic shock (a serious infection that can affect your whole body) when you arrived.
- You were observed or admitted to the hospital for at least 48 hours.
- Bacterial cultures (tests to find the germs causing your infection) were taken during your initial evaluation.
- You did not have COVID-19 within the first 3 days of your hospital stay.

This trial tests a computer tool to help doctors choose the right antibiotic for sepsis early on. It may help improve treatment by providing personalized recommendations based on your condition.
This trial is building a tool to predict sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection, in intensive care patients. It may help doctors act faster to prevent complications.
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 tests whether giving an early antibiotic (meropenem) based on a new blood test (PSP) can prevent serious infections (sepsis) in people who come to the emergency department with signs of infection. The goal is to find out if this approach helps them get better faster and avoid more severe illness.
This study compares different laboratory methods to find the exact germs causing your sepsis more quickly and accurately. Faster identification could mean better targeted treatment, potentially improving your recovery.
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.
