Investigating biomarkers for sepsis severity and mortality prediction

Study on the Mechanism of Endotoxic Acute Lung Injury-induced Golgi Stress Based on Regulating HO-1/CREB3

Observational Tianjin Nankai Hospital · NCT06045780

This study is trying to find specific markers in the blood that can help doctors understand how severe sepsis is and predict if patients will survive for 30 days.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort study focuses on patients diagnosed with sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit of Nankai Hospital. It aims to identify valuable biomarkers that indicate the severity of sepsis and predict 30-day mortality rates. All participants must meet the Sepsis-3 criteria and provide informed consent. The study does not involve any interventions but relies on observational data to draw conclusions about sepsis management.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 who have been diagnosed with sepsis within the last 48 hours.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, have certain cancers, or are participating in other intervention trials may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved identification of high-risk sepsis patients and better management strategies.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies investigating biomarkers in sepsis, this specific approach focusing on HO-1/CREB3 modulation is novel.
