Blood tests may predict sepsis death risk
NCT ID NCT07521306
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined whether routine blood tests (like PCT, CRP, and lactate) can help predict the risk of death within 28 days in adults admitted to the ICU with suspected sepsis. Researchers reviewed medical records of 250 patients to find links between these biomarkers and survival. The goal was to improve early identification of high-risk patients, not to test a new treatment.
