First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study is looking for markers in blood, stool, saliva, and lung fluid that can help predict how sepsis will affect a patient. Researchers will combine these markers with standard medical information to identify patients at higher risk of death or long-term illness. The goal is to better understand sepsis and improve care, not to test a new treatment.
