Rotational Thromboelastometry Versus DIC Score in Sepsis
SepsisSeptic ShockSepsis results in activation of the coagulation system, which is commonly described as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The DIC score, which is commonly used to define this syndrome, does not allow to delineate between hypercoagulation and hypocoagulation. The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate data from automated rotational thromboelastometry and compare These with the DIC score regarding intensive care unit outcome.
Nanomotion-based Resistell AST to Determine the Antibiotic Susceptibility of Gram-negative Bacteria...
Bacteremia SepsisBlood culture samples from bacteremia patients positive for Gram-negative bacteria will be tested for antibacterial susceptibility using Resistell Phenotech device. The results will be compared with current AST gold standard tests to calculate sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of Resistell Phenotech device.
Sepsis Characterization in Kilimanjaro
SepsisThe aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the barriers to care, evaluation, clinical practices, and outcomes for patients presenting with sepsis to hospitals in the Kilimanjaro Region of northern Tanzania. This will include an assessment of timing and selection of antimicrobials and administration and volume of intravenous fluids. The study also aims to characterize sepsis sub-types in the epidemiologic context of northern Tanzania using statistical clustering techniques of clinical variables and of host immune response patterns.
Myeloid-derived Suppressor Cells in Sepsis
SepsisThis study is designed for septic patients, to isolate MDSCs and the correlation of prognosis of sepsis. The purpose of this study hopes to explore the phenomenon and possible mechanisms of MDSCs in patients with severe sepsis.
Sepsis: From Syndrome to Personalized Care
Sepsis SyndromeSepsis3 moreThis is a prospective, observational study designed to examine the performance of biomarkers, molecular biological methods and other analysis in blood from patient with suspected sepsis in the Emergency department, as well as identidying novel sepsis endotypes. Around 1500 patients will be enrolled.
Evaluation of Immunoassay Measurements of Pancreatic Stone Protein Performed on abioSCOPE® Device...
SepsisThis is a multicenter, 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 ICU patients at risk of sepsis as an aid in identifying sepsis.
Gut Microbiome Dysfunction in Sepsis and Trauma Survivors
SepsisTrauma InjuryGastrointestinal microbiome dysfunction has been demonstrated to be a culprit of various systemic dysfunctions in peripheries such as cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine and musculoskeletal systems. The topic of microbiome dysfunction after sepsis and trauma injury is understudied but may be responsible for persistent systemic inflammation clinically observed in sepsis and trauma survivors. Therefore, the objective of this project is to investigate the gut microbiome after acute phase of sepsis or severe trauma injury and compare it with 108 age-matched healthy population controls
The Impact of Coagulation Disorders on the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Sepsis
SepsisCoagulation DisorderThe study was a retrospective, single-center clinical study. From all patients admitted to the emergency ICU during the period of 2013.1.1-2019.12.31, the investigators screened all patients who met the criteria of 1) ≤7 days from symptom onset to enrollment; 2) patients who also met the criteria of the presence of clinical infections and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score ≥2; and 3) met the exclusion criteria, and retrospectively collected coagulation indices of the patients before anticoagulation with or without the use of heparin or low molecular heparin, and recorded the worst values of coagulation function of patients before heparin were recorded, and the organ function, inflammatory response, immune indexes, and conversion rate of severe disease were observed, so as to investigate the role of conventional coagulation indexes (FDP, D-dimer) and thromboelastography in the early diagnosis of septicemia patients and to indicate the prognosis.
BIomarkers to Predict the Outcomes of Sepsis
SepsisSepsis is an organ dysfunction syndrome caused by the host's immune response to infection, and is one of the common critical illnesses. However, sepsis remains the main threat to global health. Due to the high heterogeneity, the diagnosis of sepsis is difficult, and it is particularly important to find biomarkers that can predict changes in the patient's condition and prognosis. The purpose of this study is to collect patient blood samples for testing and identify biomarkers related to the prognosis of sepsis.
Vitamin D Deficiency With Selected Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism in Gestational Hypertension...
Hypertensive Disorder of PregnancyVitamin D DeficiencyThis study aim to look into the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency among Malaysian pregnant women and its associated risk factors. Subsequently, vitamin D deficient women with and without gestational hypertension will be investigated for their genetic variation to look for the association of VDR genetic variation and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.
