New hospital risk scores aim to spot sepsis and sudden deterioration earlier
NCT ID NCT06779617
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This study is testing two new risk scores that predict a patient's chance of developing sepsis or experiencing a sudden decline (like cardiac arrest or death) within the next 4 hours. The scores give a simple 1-to-4 color-coded risk level to alert hospital staff. The goal is to see if providing these scores helps doctors and nurses check on high-risk patients sooner. The trial will involve about 150,000 adult patients across multiple hospitals in the University of Maryland Medical System.
