Investigating late-onset sepsis effects on infant development
Investigation of Motor Development and Sensory Processing Skills in Infants With a History of Late-onset Sepsis
This study looks at how late-onset sepsis affects the motor skills and sensory processing of infants aged 10 to 18 months to better understand its impact on their development.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on infants aged 10 to 18 months who have a history of late-onset sepsis. It aims to evaluate their motor development and sensory processing skills using standardized assessments such as the Test of Sensory Function in Infants and the Peabody Motor Development Scale-2. The study addresses a critical gap in understanding how late-onset sepsis impacts developmental milestones during a crucial growth period. By examining these infants, the research seeks to provide insights into the long-term effects of sepsis on development.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include term infants aged 10-18 months with a documented history of late-onset sepsis.
Not a fit: Patients who may not benefit include those with early neonatal sepsis, preterm infants, or those with congenital infections or genetic disorders.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved developmental assessments and interventions for infants affected by late-onset sepsis.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited research specifically on late-onset sepsis and its developmental impacts, studies on early-onset sepsis have shown significant effects on infant development, suggesting potential relevance for this study.
