Blood test to predict sepsis in ICU patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a confirmed or suspected infection, and you must be receiving or about to receive antibiotics.
- You must not already have sepsis when you enter the study.
- You must be expected to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 48 hours.
- You must be able to give permission (or have a family member give permission) for the study.

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 compares two blood test measurements (neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and lactate/albumin ratio) to see which better predicts how severe an infection is in ICU patients with sepsis. It aims to find a simpler way to track inflammation.
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 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 checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
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.
