Summary

This study will track blood sugar levels in 105 ICU patients with sepsis before and after they receive antibiotics. Researchers want to see if large glucose fluctuations or a 'glycemic shock index' can predict serious outcomes like kidney injury or death. The goal is to find a simple, early warning sign to help doctors act faster.

What this could mean

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors identify high-risk sepsis patients earlier and tailor treatments more effectively.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct changes in care, and results might not apply to all ICU patients.
