Filter by: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).
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™
In July 2020, a bundle (Appendix C) was implemented at Methodist Dallas Medical Center where all patients with SAB were reviewed by the antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist (Monday - Friday from 0700 to 1500), a note outlining optimal interventions was written in the electronic medical record (EMR), and the recommendations were communicated to the primary team via secure messaging or telephone
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 primary objective of this study is to establish an IL-6 concentration cutoff and optimal time point(s) for using Symphony IL-6 that predict 28-day mortality in patients who are admitted or are intended to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock.
Using our own patient data, our study aimed to predict mortality that can develop in Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli bloodstream infections with a machine learning-based model. In the intensive care unit, patients with bloodstream infections, both with and without mortality, will be examined retrospectively in two subgroups for comparison.
This study aims to emulate a hypothetical target pragmatic multi-center, non-blinded trial of adult inpatients in the PINC AITM dataset with B-lactam treated culture confirmed monomicrobial invasive Group A streptococcus (GAS) between the years 2015-2021
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-parallel intervention clinical study that will include approximately 38 healthy subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects will be assigned to one of four different dosage cohorts. Subjects in each cohort will randomly be given experimental drug or a placebo.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of ethanol (70%) as lock-solution after hemodialysis on: - The frequency of dialysis catheter-related bacteremia among patients under observation of potential complications - Other complications of the use of hemodialysis-catheters eg. dysfunction of the catheter due to thrombosis.
