New program aims to help sepsis patients recover at home
NCT ID NCT05997420
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program called STAR, where a nurse helps sepsis patients manage medications, new health problems, and follow-up care for 90 days after leaving the hospital. Researchers wanted to see if this support reduces deaths and hospital readmissions. Over 1,800 adults at high risk of readmission took part. The goal is to find out if this program can be used in other hospitals to improve recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
STAR Program (behavioral intervention with nurse navigator)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple nurse-led support program improves recovery and reduces hospital returns for sepsis survivors.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. Results may not apply to all hospitals, and the program may not reduce deaths or readmissions as hoped.
