Blood test for predicting sepsis outcomes after abdominal surgery
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple blood test (the capillary leak index) can help doctors better predict how sepsis will progress in people recovering from abdominal surgery. If you are in the ICU after surgery for an abdominal infection, this study may help guide your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You had abdominal surgery for an infection inside your belly and are now in the ICU
- You have been diagnosed with sepsis (a serious infection response)
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 2 days after surgery
- You are not pregnant, do not have severe liver or kidney disease, and are not on long-term immune-suppressing medicines

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.
This study looks at simple blood tests (like levels of certain white blood cells and a protein called procalcitonin) to see if they can predict how well people with sepsis will do in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand your infection better.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors find out if ICU patients with infections are likely to develop sepsis within the next 48 hours. If you join, the researchers will measure a protein in your blood and follow you to see if you get sepsis.
This study looks at whether levels of certain substances in your blood (uric acid, albumin, and lactate) can predict how well you do when you have sepsis. It might help doctors better understand your condition and guide your care in the ICU.
This study is testing two different simple blood tests to see which one better predicts sepsis (a severe infection response) and outcomes in ICU patients after surgery or trauma. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients sooner and improve care.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests and a bedside score can help predict who is more likely to die from sepsis in the ICU. It does not involve any experimental drug or treatment—it just tracks existing lab results and outcomes.
