Early infection testing for premature newborns
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a faster way to check premature babies for infection using a small blood sample taken shortly after birth. It aims to help doctors detect and treat infections earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby must be admitted to the neonatal care unit at the Medical University of Graz after birth.
- You must give written permission before your baby is born.
- Your baby must need a routine blood gas test within the first 12 hours after birth.

This trial tests a new biomarker (T6A) to detect bacterial infections in newborn babies. It aims to help doctors diagnose infections faster and more accurately.
This study looks at two simple blood tests (CBC and lactate) in newborns with signs of infection. These tests may help doctors find sepsis faster and guide treatment.
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 study tests a new blood test that may quickly find bacteria or yeast causing a bloodstream infection. It uses a small extra blood sample taken at the same time as your regular blood culture, and could help doctors identify the infection faster.
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 looks at a specific blood protein level in children from birth to age 17. It compares healthy children and those with sepsis to see if the protein changes during infection.
