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 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 genetic markers to better predict sepsis after major abdominal surgery. It may help find patients at higher risk so they can be treated earlier.
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 study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
