Filter by:This study will review practices in relation to chorioamnionitis (CAM) before and after to the implementation of the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis (EOS) Risk Calculator to determine the effect in the nursery at Banner - University Medical Center Phoenix. Newborns enrolled will be at least 35 weeks gestational age (GA) and have a maternal diagnosis of at least suspected or confirmed CAM. The data will include those newborns whose assessment and treatment were not guided by the EOS calculator which was implemented on August 28, 2019 and those with which the EOS calculator was utilized. A secondary objective is to show the economic impact with utilization of the EOS calculator. Data collected will include full laboratory workups including complete blood counts (CBC), blood cultures, antibiotic usage, length of time in the newborn nursery and total length of stay.
this study is conducted to evaluate the role of the novel triple therapy combination in reducing the mortality rate, reducing the shock time, and reversal of organ damage. the study includes two arms, the first arm is the control which received hydrocortisone monotherapy and the second arm is the intervention arm which received the triple therapy regimen. calculation of 28 days in-hospital mortality is the primary outcome. shock time, vasopressor doses, infection markers, and organ function tests are the secondary outcomes. the data will be analyzed by student t-test or Mann Whitney test, Fischer exact or chi-square test for numbers, repeated measures ANOVA will be used to consider confounders and other parameters, mortality will be expressed by Kaplan Meier and ROC curve. For Multivariate analysis of repeated quantitative outcomes, linear mixed models were used to quantify the relationship between one dependent variable (SOFA, SCr, doses of vasopressors) and many independent variables including group type and sepsis phenotype adjusted to other clinical and demographic factors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if implementation of the Sepsis Transition and Recovery (STAR) program within a large healthcare system will improve outcomes for high-risk patients with suspected sepsis, while concurrently examining contextual factors related to STAR program delivery within routine care to generate knowledge of best practices for implementation and dissemination of post sepsis transitions of care. To address persistent morbidity and mortality for sepsis survivors, Atrium Health developed the Sepsis Treatment and Recovery (STAR) program which uses a nurse navigator to deliver a bundle of best-practice care elements for the delivery of longitudinal post-sepsis care for up to 90 days. These care elements are directed towards the specific challenges and sequelae following a sepsis hospitalization and include: 1) identification and treatment of new physical, mental, and cognitive deficits; 2) review and adjustment of medications; 3) surveillance of treatable conditions that commonly lead to poor outcomes including chronic conditions that may de-stabilize during sepsis and recovery; and 4) focus on palliative care when appropriate. ENCOMPASS (Engagement and Collaborative Management to Proactively Advance Sepsis Survivorship) is an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type I trial, with the evaluation designed as a two-arm, pragmatic, stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial conducted at eight regional hospitals in which each participating hospital begins in a usual care control phase and transitions to the STAR program intervention in a randomly assigned sequence. Patients are allocated to receive the treatment condition (i.e., usual care or STAR) assigned to their admission hospital at time of enrollment. ENCOMPASS will test the hypothesis that patients who receive care through the STAR program will have reduced mortality and hospital readmission assessed 90 days post index hospital discharge compared to patients who receive usual care.
The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to test whether administration of live attenuated MMR vaccine (measles mumps rubella; Merck) to eligible adults at highest risk for contracting COVID-19 (healthcare workers, first responders), can induce non-specific trained innate immune leukocytes that can prevent/dampen pathological inflammation and sepsis associated with COVID-19-infection, if exposed.
The investigators will conduct this study to explore the role of Montelukast in treatment of neonatal sepsis and whether it has an effect on inflammatory markers, the duration of antibiotic use, or on the patients´ outcome.
The sepsis and septic shock remain major causes of child morbidity and mortality, despite the use of modern antibiotics and resuscitation therapies. Recent interest has focused on biomarkers for early diagnosis, and evaluation the outcomes of sepsis; but there is a still lack of early diagnosis and timely intervention for sepsis in the emergency department (ED). The primary aim was to investigate the role of C-Reactive Protein(CRP), Procalcitonin(PCT), soluble-urokinase plasminogen activator receptor(suPAR) and Presepsin in the early stratification of patients with sepsis. The usefulness of pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) for predicting of the mortality and the rate of PICU admission in children with septik shock were also investigated. This prospective pilot study was conducted at academic pediatric ED between September 2017-June 2018. All children who met sepsis criteria admitted to ED were involved to study. They kept following up after ED management and their blood samples were taken upon admission on day 0, 1, 2, 4 and 7. The definition made as sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock. At the same period, 100 healthy children chosen as the control group. The patient characteristics, clinical features, diagnosis, co-morbidities, source of infection, laboratory results (CRP, PCT, lactate, suPAR and Presepsin) and treatments were recorded. The pSOFA score was calculated during first hour of admission. Length of stay in ED and hospital was noted. The main outcome measure was in 7 and 30-day mortality.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that has doubled in incidence over the past decade, and timely aggressive medical intervention has been shown to save lives. Rural sepsis patients have a 38% higher mortality rate, possibly attributable to delays in early sepsis care. Rural emergency department (ED)-based provider-to-provider telemedicine has been proposed to standardize care and support local clinicians in rural hospitals. The goal of this multicenter observational comparative effectiveness study is to measure the association between tele-ED use and clinical outcomes in a cohort of rural sepsis patients.
This study will analyze HostDx Sepsis results from whole blood samples collected from patients with suspected sepsis or at risk for sepsis in the surgical ICU
This is an open label phase II study of treatment with LEAF-4L6715 in patients who experience severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19, Sepsis or other Causes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the improvement in PaO2/FiO2 by more than 25% in patients treated with LEAF-4L6715.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that addition of the Monocyte Width Distribution (MDW) parameter to current standard of care improves a clinician's ability to recognize sepsis in the Emergency Department, resulting in earlier decision to administer antibiotics from time of ED presentation for sepsis patients (simulated primary endpoint), with concomitant reductions in length of stay and in-hospital mortality for those patients (secondary endpoints).
