Blood sugar changes as a predictor in sepsis
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how changes in blood sugar levels might help predict recovery in patients with a serious infection (sepsis) in the ICU. It tests whether closely monitoring glucose fluctuations can help doctors better understand the course of the illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the ICU with a serious infection (sepsis)
- Your blood sugar was checked at least twice in the 6 hours before you received antibiotics
- Your blood sugar was checked at least three times in the 24 hours after starting antibiotics
- You have not taken steroid medications in the last 48 hours
- You do not have diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a severe high-blood-sugar condition (HHS), or acute pancreatitis

This study looks at whether certain blood test results can help predict how well people with sepsis will do. Sepsis is a serious infection that can affect the whole body. You may be able to join if you have sepsis and are over 18.
This trial tests a continuous glucose monitoring system (Syai Tag) in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see how well it measures blood sugar levels safely compared to standard methods.
This study looks at how blood sugar levels affect recovery and survival in the ICU for people whose heart failure worsened suddenly. Your blood sugar will be monitored while you receive standard care, to see if it relates to how well you do.
This trial checks whether a continuous glucose monitoring system (“CGM GUARDIAN 2”) can be used safely and effectively for people in the ICU who have septic shock and high blood sugar. It may help the medical team track blood sugar more easily while you receive insulin.
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.
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.
