One size Doesn't fit all: new study aims to personalize sepsis risk detection
NCT ID NCT07582614
First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This observational study looks at blood lactate levels in 16,000 intensive care patients to see if different thresholds for men, women, and various age groups can better predict death or serious illness, especially in sepsis. Researchers will analyze existing hospital data from Sweden to find more personalized cutoff values. The goal is to help doctors identify at-risk patients earlier, even when lactate levels seem normal.
