NCT ID NCT07375108

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study looked at whether a regional guideline for managing sepsis (a severe infection) in pregnant and postpartum women improved outcomes. Researchers compared 52 women treated before and after the guideline was introduced in Lombardy, Italy. They measured hospital stay length, deaths, ICU transfers, and pregnancy complications to see if the standardized care plan made a difference.
