Sepsis: From Syndrome to Personalized Care
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, observational study designed to examine the performance of biomarkers, molecular biological methods and other analysis in blood from patient with suspected sepsis in the Emergency department. 300 - 400 patients will be enrolled.

Detailed Description
The study will prospectively include adult patients (>18 years) with suspected sepsis admitted to Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål (OUH-Ullevål). Patients admitted to the emergency department and managed by the medical rapid response team or the sepsis rapid response team are considered eligible for inclusion. Informed consent will be collected at the emergency department if possible, or within few days, by a clinical investigator or a study nurse. The investigators aim to include 300 - 400 patients treated by the Sepsis Rapid Response Team or Medical Emergency team for possible sepsis. Patients classified to have had other conditions than sepsis in the post hoc assessment will be used as controls. The inclusion period will be 12 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of sepsis patient with elevated plasma-calprotectin [One year]
Sensitivity of plasma-calprotectin for detecting infections in critical ill medical patients in the Emergency department.
- Area under the curve receiver operator characteristic (AUC - ROC) for inflammation biomarkers for detecting infection in critically ill patients. [One year]
Comparing area under the curve receiver operator characteristic (AUC - ROC) for calprotectin, pro-calcitonin, CRP and other biomarkers for detecting infections in critically ill patients in the Emergency department.
- Number of sepsis patient with bacterial DNA detected in blood by molecular biological tests. [One year]
The performance of rapid molecular biological tests for detecting bacterial DNA in full blood in critically ill medical patients, compared to current state-of-the art diagnostics (blood culture).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Concentration of biomarkers in blood. [One year]
Explore how the concentration of biomarkers of inflammation change during the course of the disease.
