Blood tests to detect sepsis early in the emergency department
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and be in the emergency department.
- The emergency doctor must suspect you have an infection and you must have certain signs of infection (like fever, fast heart rate, or confusion).
- A blood sample must be taken within 2 hours of your arrival at the emergency department.
- You must not have a weakened immune system (for example, from recent chemotherapy, an organ transplant, or long-term high-dose steroids).
- You must not have a blood cancer or bone marrow disorder.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you cannot take part.

This study aims to find new ways to quickly diagnose sepsis (a severe response to infection) in patients arriving at the emergency room. If successful, these new tests could help doctors start treatment faster.
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 is testing whether certain markers in your blood or other samples can help doctors diagnose sepsis (a severe infection that affects your organs) more quickly. If you join, the study will use samples already collected to look for these markers, which might lead to faster treatment for future patients.
This study is testing whether a special blood test can help predict sepsis earlier in people who come to the emergency department. It might help get faster treatment and better outcomes.
This study tests a new tool that helps doctors quickly identify sepsis, a serious condition where the body's immune system overreacts to an infection. It may help patients get the right treatment sooner.
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.
