Safe Hospital Discharge Planning for Children
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a new discharge process to help children recover safely at home after being treated in the hospital for an infection. The goal is to make sure children get the right follow-up care and support after they leave the hospital.

This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection that can affect the whole body) affects children after they leave the intensive care unit. It compares children who had sepsis to those with other critical illnesses to understand long-term health.
This study tests a home monitoring system for people who come to the ER or their doctor with a serious infection that could turn into sepsis. The goal is to see if watching you at home can help catch worsening signs early and prevent hospitalization.
This study follows adults hospitalized with sepsis to help improve care. You will be visited daily while in the hospital and get a phone call after you leave.
This study tests whether a simple written guide about sepsis can help you understand your condition and recovery better while you are in the ICU. If you qualify, you will receive the educational material and may be asked a few questions about your experience.
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.
This study uses special blood testing to learn what is happening in the immune system during sepsis in children and how it may relate to organ injury. Your results may help doctors recognize and treat sepsis earlier and more accurately.
