Comparing two quick tests to predict sepsis survival
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial compares two scoring systems (REDS and qSOFA) to see which better predicts the risk of death in patients with sepsis. It helps doctors quickly identify who needs the most urgent care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You come to the emergency room with a suspected or confirmed infection
- You have a qSOFA score of 2 or higher on arrival (a quick measure of your breathing, blood pressure, and alertness)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a 'Do Not Resuscitate' (DNR) order
- You do not have a weakened immune system (for example, from leukemia)

This trial is looking for patients who have an infection and are showing early signs of getting sicker, like a high warning score. It aims to find out if doctors can identify those at risk of sepsis sooner so they can start treatment earlier.
This trial is testing whether certain biomarkers (substances in your body) can help diagnose sepsis faster. Sepsis is a serious condition where your body has a severe response to an infection. The study will look at blood or other samples to see if these markers can quickly tell if you have sepsis, which could lead to faster treatment.
This study checks if a simple health measurement (modified shock index) can help predict which sepsis patients are most at risk in the emergency room. It aims to find a quick way to identify those needing more urgent care.
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
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.
This trial compares different computer tools that try to predict sepsis—a serious body-wide response to infection—so doctors can spot it earlier. If you’re an adult admitted through the emergency room, your information may be used to test which tool works best.
