Blood tests to predict thinking problems after sepsis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests can help predict if people who have had sepsis will have thinking or memory problems later. If you are in the ICU with sepsis, this trial might help doctors understand your risk for long-term brain issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are in an intensive care unit (ICU) in the hospital.
- You have sepsis or septic shock, which is a severe infection that affects your whole body.
- You need help with breathing (a breathing tube or a mask) or medicine to keep your blood pressure within a safe range.
- You have been in the ICU for less than 24 hours so far.

This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors find out if ICU patients with infections are likely to develop sepsis within the next 48 hours. If you join, the researchers will measure a protein in your blood and follow you to see if you get sepsis.
This study is testing a blood test that may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster. It involves people with sepsis and healthy volunteers to compare results.
This trial looks at how the immune system changes after septic shock in adults in the ICU. It may help doctors better predict or manage complications by studying blood markers a few days after starting treatment.
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 trial looks at patterns in certain immune cells (neutrophils) in people with sepsis in the ICU, including those who have a breathing tube. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system changes during sepsis and could guide future care.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) affects the immune system. The goal is to see if certain blood markers can help doctors predict recovery, which could improve the care of future patients with septic shock.
