Checking newborn brain effects from sepsis in the NICU
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how sepsis (a serious infection in the blood) affects the brain and nervous system in newborns. Doctors will check babies for signs of brain or nerve problems to better understand and care for them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn, 0 to 28 days old (born at any stage).
- Your baby must have a confirmed diagnosis of sepsis (a severe bloodstream infection).
- Your baby must be in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) during the study.
- Your baby must not have major birth defects of the brain or spinal cord.
- Your baby must not have brain damage from lack of oxygen at birth.
- Your baby must not have certain inherited metabolic disorders or chromosome problems.

This study uses a special ultrasound to see how sepsis, a severe infection, affects the heart's function in newborns. It compares newborns with sepsis to healthy newborns to understand the impact and help improve care.
This study enrolls newborns (within the first 28 days of life) who have specific brain or nervous system conditions. It tests how these conditions are tracked and studied, which may help improve care and understanding over time.
This study checks how a newborn’s body changes over time in an intensive care unit, using routine monitoring. Your child may benefit by being closely observed, and the results may help improve care for future newborns.
This trial is testing ways to make the best treatment decisions for newborns who may have an early infection (sepsis). It focuses on babies born at 34 weeks or later and within their first three days of life.
This study looks at brain wave patterns in patients with sepsis (a severe infection that can affect the brain) during their time in the intensive care unit. The goal is to understand how the brain is affected, which may help improve care.
This study builds a group of adults with sepsis who develop sudden brain problems, like delirium or coma. It aims to better understand how often this happens and how it may be recognized in hospital, which could help future care.
