Filter by:This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with sepsis (blood poisoning) and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or changes to their healthcare. DIC is a serious blood disorder that can cause clots throughout the body, blocking blood vessels. People who have sepsis or cancer are at a higher risk of developing DIC. To find a treatment that works well for people with DIC associated with sepsis, it is important to know about its occurrence, treatments people receive, and their outcomes. Japan is the only country that has officially approved medicines for DIC including a few newer medicines that prevent extensive blood clotting. In this study, researchers will assess patient data from a hospital database in Japan. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how many adults develop DIC related to sepsis, thrombocytopenic sepsis (sudden decrease in the number of platelets in the blood), or septic shock (dangerously low blood pressure) in Japan every year. To learn about this, researchers will collect the following information: - The number of participants who developed DIC 14 days, 21 days and 28 days after their sepsis diagnosis - The grading scores given to the participants which are used to assess the likelihood, cause, severity, treatment plan, and outcome of DIC (including scores called JAAM, ISTH, MHLW, and/or SOFA scores) - The number of days between diagnosis of sepsis and the beginning of DIC Researchers will study the data collected between June 2018 and June 2023. The data will come from TXP Medical, which collects data through the hospital health information system of 7 selected hospitals for this study across Japan. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected.
It is an epidemiology study to explore outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and sepsis submitted to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with Oxiris™. Objectives: Describe the experience and outcomes in patients with sepsis and AKI treated receiving CRRT with the adsorption membrane filter Oxiris™
Toxicosis often leads to multiple organ failure (MODS), with the kidney being the primary target organ due to its sensitivity to infection and ischemia. The kidney's vulnerability makes it a potential early indicator of organ failure, implying that further organ failure may occur later, thereby increasing the risk of patient mortality. Several studies conducted on sepsis patients in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) have revealed that 40.32% of sepsis patients experienced complications with acute kidney injury (AKI), and the case fatality rate could rise to 70% once AKI occurred. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) scale is commonly used as a diagnostic criterion for AKI. However, the kidney's robust reserve function poses a challenge for early identification, diagnosis, and intervention of AKI since significant increases in creatinine levels and a sharp decrease in urine volume already indicate severe kidney damage. This situation calls for the development of alternative methods. In our previous study, we discovered a strong correlation between urinary oxygen partial pressure and renal organ function impairment in children with sepsis. Building upon traditional biochemical indicators such as blood lactic acid levels, we will incorporate non-invasive tests like urine partial pressure of oxygen, renal ultrasound, and cardiac ultrasound, as well as novel markers like KIM-1, to establish a model for early recognition and assessment of kidney damage in children with sepsis. By utilizing commonly used biomarkers and the precise effects of urinary oxygen partial pressure, we aim to improve early identification and accurate intervention evaluation for pediatric sepsis kidney injury. This research will provide a crucial foundation for the development of early warning systems, diagnostic guidelines, and treatment protocols for pediatric sepsis kidney injury.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a postpartum physical activity intervention after a pregnancy complicated by a Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy. The study will also assess the effects of the remote postpartum intervention on blood pressure. To do this, we will recruit individuals that are 3-6 months postpartum a pregnancy complicated by a hypertensive disorder to participate in a 4-month health coaching intervention aimed to promote physical activity and was informed by formative work done previously.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TIN816 in hospitalized adult participants in an intensive care setting with a diagnosis of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).
This project will evaluate the usefulness of Monocyte Distribution Width (MDW) for the diagnosis of blood culture positivity (BSI) in patients in the Emergency Department (ED) and reevaluate the usefulness of MDW in patients with BSI and sepsis. Consequently, if MDW indicate a high likelihood of bacteremia antibiotic management in patients with suspected bacterial infections will be changed and aid appropriate antibiotic administration.
Symphony IL-6 is a device that quantitates human IL-6 by fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (FEIA) from whole-blood specimens. Use of Symphony IL- 6 removes the need for plasma separation before testing. Symphony IL-6 comprises two components, the Symphony Fluorescence Immunoanalyzer and the Symphony IL-6 Cartridge. Whole blood is added to the cartridge and then up to six cartridges can be inserted into the immunoanalyzer. After 20 minutes a readout and printout are given with a quantitative IL-6 concentration. The used cartridges are fully enclosed and can be easily disposed of in general hospital bio-waste. Given the nature of this device and its portability, there is potential for future deployment as a point-of-care (POC) device. This study is to establish an interleukin-6 (IL-6) cutoff value using the Symphony IL-6 test for patients at high risk of severe sepsis caused by a COVID-19 infection.
Around one in ten women have high blood pressure in pregnancy. This is potentially serious, with risks to the woman and her baby. Whilst maternal deaths from high blood pressure in pregnancy are now rare in the UK, blood pressure problems in pregnancy still cause many stillbirths and early births. Studies have shown that women of Black and Asian backgrounds are more likely to have worse pregnancy outcomes when blood pressure problems in pregnancy develop. This study aims to: i) describe the burden of disease of high blood pressure in pregnancy amongst babies admitted to neonatal units on a national scale. ii) investigate outcomes for babies born to women with high blood pressure in pregnancy admitted to UK neonatal units across maternal ethnic groups. To complete this study, we will use the National Neonatal Research Database, which holds population-level data for all babies admitted to neonatal units (where unwell babies receive care) in the UK. We will look at records of babies admitted to neonatal units in England and Wales between 2012 and 2020. The records will include information on over half a million babies and their mothers. We will assess how many babies admitted to neonatal units were born to women who had high blood pressure in pregnancy. We will report the outcomes of these babies, and how they compare to babies born to women without high blood pressure in pregnancy. We will analyse whether outcomes for babies born to women with high blood pressure in pregnancy varies according to maternal ethnicity, and investigate what may be driving differences we find.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are now well-recognized risk factors for adverse outcomes in the postpartum period and for development of future cardiovascular disease (CVD). Postpartum BMI has emerged as a strong predictor of both short- and long-term blood pressure (BP) control in observational studies suggesting that earlier postpartum lifestyle modifications may be instrumental in future CVD risk reduction in women with HDP. While such lifestyle modifications are recognized as critical for postpartum health, implementation and engagement of postpartum women remains a challenge as new mothers face greater barriers to in-person care given childcare responsibilities. The proposed study will investigate the acceptability of a virtual cardiac wellness program and its impact on weight, lifestyle modifications, cardiometabolic health, patient engagement, and outcomes following HDP as compared to the standard of care for postpartum women at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Αim of ImmunoSep is to assess whether personalized adjunctive immunotherapy directed against a state of either fulminant hyper-inflammation or immunoparalysis is able to change sepsis outcomes. Patients will be selected by a panel of biomarkers and laboratory findings and will be allocated to placebo or immunotherapy treatment according to their needs.
