Early Sepsis Detection Tool for Children
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks if a new tool can help doctors spot sepsis early in children. If your child is under 18, had a blood culture, and received strong antibiotics within the first day in the hospital, they may qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be a child under 18 years old.
- Must have had a blood culture taken (even if the result was negative).
- Must have been started on broad-spectrum antibiotics within the first 24 hours after admission.
- Must not have left the hospital against medical advice without outcome data.

This trial uses a blood fluorescence test to check for early signs of sepsis. It may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster, allowing for quicker treatment.
This study tests a new toolkit to help doctors better diagnose sepsis in children during emergency transfer calls. It looks back at records and call recordings to see if the toolkit improves how sepsis is spotted early.
This trial tests an AI-based screening tool that uses information from patients to help identify sepsis earlier. It may help doctors notice sepsis sooner and order the right tests, especially when a sepsis warning is triggered.
This trial tests a new, faster way to find bacteria in the blood of children with suspected sepsis. It uses a molecular test that may give results sooner than standard cultures, helping doctors treat infections more quickly.
This trial is testing whether a new, highly sensitive blood test (droplet digital PCR) combined with genetic analysis can help doctors predict sepsis earlier in emergency room patients. This could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
This trial tests a new blood test called the Sepsis ImmunoScore that may help doctors quickly identify sepsis (a life-threatening infection response). The test looks at your immune system's response to see if you have sepsis, which could help you get treatment faster.
