Sepsis outcomes in the emergency department
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have sepsis, meaning a confirmed or suspected infection plus signs of organ damage (like confusion, low blood pressure, or difficulty breathing).
- You must be seen in the emergency department for this condition.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have multiple severe injuries (like from a car crash or bad fall).
- You cannot have a very fast irregular heartbeat or need a pacemaker, and you cannot have had cardiac arrest when arriving at the ER.

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 aims to improve how quickly patients with sepsis (a life-threatening reaction to infection) receive the right treatment in the hospital. By following a specific checklist, they hope to reduce harm and improve outcomes for patients with this condition.
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 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 collects information from patients with sepsis (a serious infection that affects the whole body) who come to the emergency department. The goal is to better understand and improve care for people with this condition.
This study tests whether giving an early antibiotic (meropenem) based on a new blood test (PSP) can prevent serious infections (sepsis) in people who come to the emergency department with signs of infection. The goal is to find out if this approach helps them get better faster and avoid more severe illness.
