Studying sepsis risk after major abdominal surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are scheduled for major open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery (either planned or emergency)
- You can provide a blood or tissue sample before and within 24 hours after surgery
- Your blood pressure and heart function are stable before surgery
- You do not have active infections like HIV, active hepatitis, or untreated tuberculosis
- You are not on long-term steroids or medicines that suppress your immune system
- You do not have severe liver or kidney failure, or serious heart disease

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at blood markers (epigenetics) to better understand why some people have a harder time recovering from a severe infection after major cancer surgery. The goal is to find early signs of poor outcomes in men aged 45–75 with post-surgery sepsis.
This study looks at whether levels of certain substances in your blood (uric acid, albumin, and lactate) can predict how well you do when you have sepsis. It might help doctors better understand your condition and guide your care in the ICU.
This study looks at how the immune system responds in patients who develop sepsis after surgery and how it relates to kidney injury. It aims to help improve care for conditions like this.
This trial studies people with and without sepsis in the ICU to understand why some get very sick from infections. It aims to find better ways to predict who will have complications and guide treatment.
This study looks at whether a simple heart rate and blood pressure measure can help predict if patients with heart conditions will have heart problems after major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely and prevent complications.
