Filter by: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.
Objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 'Short duration antibiotic' (72hrs) and 'Standard duration antibiotic'(5 - 7days) in preterm neonates ( >28weeks and >1000grams ) with culture negative early onset sepsis.
This is a prospective observational cohort study of platelet phenotype in pregnant patients at high-risk for the development preeclampsia. Blood samples will be collected prior to the initiation of daily aspirin and again in the second trimester to evaluate for platelet changes during pregnancy in patient's as a result of aspirin use and their association with adverse perinatal outcomes.
This study sought to evaluate the association of right ventricular systolic dysfunction and 28-day in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock. Prospective cohort study of adult patients admitted at Burapha university hospital from October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 for sepsis and septic shock, who had an echocardiogram within 72 hours after admission for evaluating right ventricular systolic function. Right ventricular systolic dysfunction was defned by the American Society of Echocardiography criteria. Outcomes included 28-day in-hospital mortality, maximal blood lactate, length of intensive care unit(ICU) stay and duration of mechanical ventilation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of melatonin on MDA serum, IL-6, IL-8 levels, ANC, and sepsis score in preterm neonates with sepsis. The main question aim to answer : • Does melatonin affect MDA serum, IL-6, IL-8 levels, ANC, and sepsis score in preterm neonates with sepsis? The participants in the treatment group will receive a single dose of oral melatonin 20 mg, meanwhile those the control group will receive placebo. The researchers will compare MDA serum, IL-6, IL-8 levels, ANC, and sepsis score before and after receiving melatonin, whether there are decreases of MDA serum, IL-6, IL-8 levels, ANC and increase of sepsis score
For the treatment of numerous biliary and pancreatic problems, the procedure known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is regarded as a crucial therapeutic intervention. However, ERCP is known to be connected to a variety of issues, including post-ERCP sepsis. This study's goal is to investigate the relationship between unexplained hypotension during or just after surgery and the emergence of sepsis after ERCP.
The EMPRESS trial aims to test the two most commonly used antibiotics (meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam) among intensive care patients with sepsis (blood poisoning), as the safety of these two drugs is unclear in this group of patients.
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.
Objectives: 1. To compare the immune response of patients with or without sepsis presenting to the ED with a(n) (suspected) infection. 2. To determine immune response aberrations that are associated with an increased risk of developing sepsis in patients presenting to the ED with a(n) (suspected) infection without sepsis. 3. To determine the long term cognitive and physical sequelae of sepsis after admission.
Sepsis is the second leading cause of maternal death in the U.S. For racial and ethnic minoritized birthing people, especially those who are Black, living in poverty, and from underserved communities, labor and postpartum are particularly vulnerable risk periods. The goal of this multi-center, multidisciplinary observational study is to establish a novel maternal care continuity model to reduce sepsis- related death and disability and increase maternal health equity.
