Sepsis risk score comparison for hospital outcomes
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study compares two bedside scoring tools to predict which patients with a suspected infection are at higher risk of dying. It aims to help doctors identify the sickest patients sooner so they can be treated more aggressively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must arrive at the emergency department with a suspected or confirmed infection.
- Your vital signs (like blood pressure, breathing rate, and mental status) must meet a certain threshold (qSOFA score of 2 or more).
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order.
- You cannot have a weakened immune system (like from leukemia).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how well a simple check (the 'modified shock index') can predict the outlook for patients with sepsis in the emergency department. The goal is to help doctors identify who might be at higher risk so they can provide faster, more targeted care.
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 looks at different ways to predict sepsis, a serious condition where the body reacts badly to an infection. It may help doctors spot sepsis earlier so they can treat it faster.
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 study is testing whether a special blood test can help predict sepsis earlier in people who come to the emergency department. It might help get faster treatment and better outcomes.
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.
