New treatment option for Sepsis
Official title UMMS Sepsis Early Prediction Score (SEPSys) and RESCUE Score Combined Clinical Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06779617
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is designed to test two new risk scores - one designed to predict a patient's four-hour risk of developing sepsis and one designed to predict a patient's four-hour risk of deterioration (cardiac arrest, death, unplanned ICU transfer, or rapid response team call). The goal of this study is to improve provider awareness of a patient's risk of these two negative outcomes by providing them with new risk scores.
