Filter by:Prospective observational study designed to describe the clinical, laboratory, imaging, microbiological characteristics and treatment of specific infectious diseases, with the addition of a dedicated biobank.
The goal of this observational study is to develop a risk prediction model for early-onset neonatal sepsis in term and late preterm neonates in Uganda and Zimbabwe. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the risk factors for early-onset neonatal sepsis in low-resource settings? - How can these be combined into a risk prediction model? Mother-baby pairs will be recruited in Uganda. They will have extensive data taken on their medical and obstetric histories and lifestyles, and their newborns will have a blood sample taken just after birth for culture. Machine learning techniques will be used to create the risk prediction model, which will then be validated in a second population in Zimbabwe.
Sepsis is a critical burden for a healthcare. From 2000 to 2020, the number of publications and clinical studies on the topic of Sepsis and septic shock on the National Library of Medicine resource The National Center for Biotechnology Information has tripled. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that causes significant pathophysiological changes in the body. Currently, sepsis is understood as organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulatory response of the macroorganism to infection. A special role in this process belongs to the innate and adaptive immune response. Despite the trend towards improving survival rates, mortality in sepsis remains high - about 25%, reaching 60% with the development of septic shock. Extracorporeal therapy, as an adjuvant method of treatment, has been used for more than 30 years, but conducting large randomized studies confirming its effectiveness is associated with a complex of problems, including the extreme heterogeneity of the population of patients with sepsis and septic shock, different etiologies and complex pathogenesis, non-identical pathophysiological pathways of the dominant organ dysfunction in specific time period and degree of its severity. Goal of the study is to evaluate safety and efficiency of combined hemoperfusion and therapeutic plasma exchange in adult patients with septic shock.
Evaluate the effectiveness of esmolol, a selective β1-adrenergic receptor blocker, in modulating immune responses and improving patient outcomes in sepsis.
PALETTE is a perpetual adaptive platform to efficiently study sepsis interventions within 'treatable traits' in all-ages patients enabling prompt evaluation of pandemic treatments. Treatable traits, therapeutic targets identified by phenotypes or endotypes (defined by biological mechanism or by treatment response) through validated biomarkers (measurable characteristic reflecting normal or pathogenic processes, or treatment responses), may include multi-omics, cellular, immune, metabolic, endocrine features, or intelligent algorithms. PALETTE Bayesian adaptive design enables parallel investigations of multiple interventions for sepsis, and quick inclusion of pandemic pathogens. PALETTE's new conceptual model will respond to the challenges of standard approaches, i.e. series of sepsis trials, each investigating one or two interventions, expensive, time consuming, and inappropriate in pandemic context.
The purpose of this study is to characterize organ dysfunction change in acute necrotizing pancreatitis patients with sepsis after open necrosectomy.
In order to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of thrombin-antithrombin complex（TAT）, α2-plasmin inhibitor-plasmin complex（PIC）, tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex（tPAI·C） and thrombomodulin（TM） in sepsis-induced coagulopathy(SIC), hospitalized patients with sepsis were prospectively included. Plasma TAT, PIC, tPAI·C,TM levels within 24 h after sepsis diagnosis were detected by MCL60 chemiluminescence analyzer. According to the SIC score (≥4), they were divided into SIC group and non-SIC group, and ROC curve analysis was performed according to the biomarker test results.
The purpose of The Preeclampsia Registry is to collect and store medical and other information from women who have been medically diagnosed with preeclampsia or a related hypertensive (high blood pressure) disorder of pregnancy such as eclampsia or HELLP syndrome, their family members, and women who have not had preeclampsia to serve as controls. Information from participants will be used for medical research to try to understand why preeclampsia occurs, how to predict it better, and to develop experimental clinical trials of new treatments. The Registry will consist of a web-based survey and mechanism for collecting and reviewing medical records. This data will be utilized for immediate investigator-driven cross-sectional research projects (after proposal review by the Registry's scientific advisory board and as directed by the PI). Participants may also choose to be contacted regarding possible participation in future studies, about providing a biospecimen, as well as investigator-driven clinical trials. The Registry is anticipated to exist long-term and to serve as a foundation of participants from which to draw for studies of preeclampsia, anticipated to evolve as our scientific understanding of preeclampsia evolves.
Preterm infants are born at less than 37 weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes a break or tear in the fluid filled bag that surrounds and protects the infant during pregnancy leads to an untimely birth. This state puts the infant at risk of serious condition called sepsis. Sepsis is a condition in which body responds inappropriately to an infection. Sepsis may progress to septic shock which can result in the loss of life. Doctors give antibiotics to treat sepsis. The goal of this research study is to find out: 1. Among neonates at risk of early-onset neonatal sepsis, whether a policy of administering antibiotics selectively to a subset of at-risk infants who later develop signs of sepsis is not inferior to administering antibiotics to all at-risk infants in the 1st week of life. 2. To find out if infants receiving selective antibiotics (as above) compared to those receiving antibiotics from birth (as above) require fewer antibiotic courses of 48 hours duration or more in the 1st week of life. 3. To find out whether infants receiving selective antibiotics (as above) compared to those receiving antibiotics from birth (as above) are significantly different with respect to a wide range of secondary outcomes (listed under "Outcomes").
In-hospital mortality of patients admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) for circulatory shock remains high (between 20 and 40%). Currently, there are no markers that allow us to classify patients with circulatory shock at higher risk of early and late bad outcomes, or who may better respond to a specific intervention. To understand the contribution of biological heterogeneity to circulatory shock independently from its etiology, the ShockCO-OP Research Program aims to use clustering approaches to re-analyze existing clinical and molecular data from several large European and North American prospective cohorts and clinical trials. This will enable an improvement in risk prediction and a better patient selection in future clinical trials to assess a personalized therapy (i.e., prospective enrollment based on a biological/molecular signature).
