Field Paramedic Application of Sepsis Triage
SepsisGiven the implementation of the Hamilton Early Warning Score (HEWS) and the use of capnography by paramedics, this study will involve a large multi-site retrospective evaluation (before vs after implementation) of the HEWS score and comparison of the HEWS to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), quick Sepsis Related Organ failure Assessment (qSOFA) and Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) when applied retrospectively for the identification of sepsis in the prehospital setting.

Immune Function Monitoring and Immunotherapy in Sepsis
SepsisSeptic ShockAt present, the clinical studies of various anti-inflammatory drugs and immune-enhancing drugs show that immunotherapy will bring new hope for the treatment of sepsis. In order to further understand the current status of immunotherapy in China, this study aims to understand the current status and standardization of the use of sepsis immunosurveillance and immunotherapy in hospitals through a cross-sectional survey.
SQuISH-COVID: A Pilot Study
SepsisCOVID-19This is a single-site prospective study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the investigational SeptiScan System for patients presenting to the Emergency Department with signs or suspicion of COVID-19 or other infectious respiratory diseases.
Personalized Swiss Sepsis Study
SepsisThis multi-center study is to focus on patients with sepsis in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in order to better understand the complex host-pathogen interaction and clinical heterogeneity associated with sepsis. Understanding this heterogeneity may allow the development of novel diagnostic approaches. Data from patients will be analyzed using state-of-the art analytical algorithms for biomarker discovery including machine learning and multidimensional mathematical modelling to explore the large datasets generated. In order to discover digital biomarkers for the study endpoints a case-control study design will be used to compare data patterns from patients with sepsis (cases) and those without sepsis (controls).
4G/5G Polymorphism of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Gene and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation...
Severe SepsisData on 4G/5G polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene are limited in Asian patients with sepsis. Therefore, the investigators aim to prospectively investigate the incidence of 4G/5G polymorphism and its relationship with disseminated intravascluar coagulatin in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.
Regulation of Endocrine, Metabolic, Immune and Bioenergetic Responses in Sepsis
SepsisCritical IllnessThe hypothesis of this study is that bioenergetic failure in human sepsis, related to endocrine, metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction, is a major determinant of defective host immune responses, increasing disease severity and risk of death. The objectives of this study are to examine the relationship between the severity of illness, and temporal changes in the activity of endocrine, metabolic and bioenergetic pathways, and consequent immune dysfunction in critically ill patients with sepsis and multiple organ failure in the Intensive Care Unit.
Clinical Intuition for PRedicting Evolution in Sepsis in the Emergency Department - CIPRES-ED Study...
SepsisSepsis is a syndrome involving infection and an abnormal systemic inflammatory response in the infected organism, resulting in organ dysfunction and possibly death. It is a major cause of hospital mortality. A large proportion of sepsis diagnoses are made in emergency departments. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment have been shown to reduce mortality from this disease. In a context of limited resources, it is therefore important to be able to quickly stratify patients presenting to the emergency department with a suspected infection into those who require rapid and intensive management because they are at risk of developing sepsis and septic shock and those who can be managed conventionally The objective of this study is to compare the clinical intuition of emergency room physicians and nurses with the qSOFA score to predict the clinical course of patients presenting to the emergency room with potential sepsis.
Development of Risk Score Model and Decision Tree Algorithm for Predicting Infections With CRKp...
Bloodstream InfectionPneumonia6 moreDETERMINE trial is a prospective multicenter multinational cohort study. This study will be carried out to predict the risk of bloodstream infections (BSIs) or other types of invasive infection with carbapenem resistant K.pneumoniae in patients being colonized by CRKp. The results of DETERMINE trial would be quite important to prevent unnecessary coverage of carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in empirical treatment of colonized patients. In this study, both risk score model and decision tree algorithm will be constructed and compared with each other in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value.
Risk Factors and Treatment Outcome of Oncology Children Hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit...
Oncologic Complications and EmergenciesICU2 moreChildren treated with intensive chemotherapy are at increased risk for life-threatening infections (sepsis). As the survival of oncology patients increased with the use of aggressive treatment protocols, there was also an increase in the need for hospitalization in intensive care units (ICU) due to sepsis.Several prognostic factors are known to affect the survival of these patients, including the number and type of damaged systems, the type of oncology disease and the duration of neutropenia. With the development of the treatment of ICU, the survival of the oncology patients hospitalized for sepsis has also increased. We will collect demographic details, details of their oncology and infections, laboratory tests and imaging. The goal is to identify prognostic factors in oncologic children hospitalized in ICU due to sepsis, as well as clinical and laboratory parameters that characterize this group of patients.
