Infected Elders in the Emergency Department: Outcomes and Processes of Care
SepsisThe purpose of this study is to determine factors which predict a complicated hospital course and then to develop from these findings an Emergency Department guideline to assist in knowing who is at highest risk of elderly patients with infection presenting for care.
IMproved PREdiction of Severe Sepsis in the Emergency Department
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)Sepsis2 moreThe purposes of this study is to determine whether Heparin Binding Protein (HBP) can be used as a marker of severe sepsis (including septic shock) in patients presenting to the emergency department with suspected infection.
A Non-invasive Approach to the Assessment of Volume Status in Mechanically Ventilated Septic Patients....
Severe SepsisSeptic ShockTo evaluate the use of sonographic inferior caval vein assessment in mechanically ventilated septic patients. Volume assessment in mechanically ventilated patients with inflammation is of major importance to guide fluid therapy. The researchers investigated whether measurement of caval vein diameter correlates with invasively assessed volume-based hemodynamic parameters.
Sepsis, Endothelial Function, and Lipids in Critically Ill Patients With Liver Failure (the SELLIFA...
Liver DiseasesLiver Cirrhosis2 moreThe purpose of the study is to determine the role of new biomarkers in the diagnosis of sepsis in critically-ill patients with liver failure and to correlate the prognosis of these patients with parameters of endothelial function and lipid metabolism.
A Laboratory-based Surveillance Study of Candida Bloodstream Infections (MK-0991-093)
CandidemiaThis study will evaluate the incidence rate of Candida blood stream infection (candidemia) among people hospitalized in participating medical centers in Brazil, and will assess the antifungal drug susceptibility patterns of Candida clinical isolates. No hypotheses will be tested in the study. Candida blood stream isolates collected from people hospitalized for any reason during the study period will be sent to a core mycology laboratory for antifungal drug susceptibility testing. All people who develop candidemia while hospitalized will be considered participants in the study.
A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of the Morley Medical Sepsis (MMS) Software Device in...
SepsisThis is a pivotal medical device clinical trial evaluating the clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients monitored with the Morley Medical Sepsis Software Device. The device uses unique AI machine learning algorithms to analyze patient data in real time and generate clinical decision support sepsis risk predictions for clinicians.
European Sepsis Care Survey
SepsisThe objective of this survey is to investigate the current state of sepsis care around Europe. The study is aiming at hospital structure, emergency departments, wards, intensive care units and clinical diagnostic and microbiological service.
Clinical Validation of HostDx Sepsis™ on NanoString; a Prospective Observational Validation Trial...
SepsisThis study will analyze HostDx Sepsis results from whole blood samples collected from patients with suspected sepsis or at risk for sepsis in the surgical ICU
Reference Range for abioSCOPE® Device With the PSP Assay in a Generally Healthy Adult Population...
SepsisSeptic Shock1 moreThis is a single center, prospective, biomarker-result-blinded observational study evaluating immunoassay measurements of pancreatic stone protein (PSP) performed on Abionic's abioSCOPE device with the PSP assay on generally healthy adults representative of the US population.
Presepsin as Detective Marker of Sepsis in Immunodeficiency ICU Patients
SepsisImmune DeficiencyThis is an observational study to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of presepsin in the critically-ill immunocompromise patients.
