Magnesium levels linked to clotting risk in sepsis
NCT ID NCT07576621
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 150 adults with sepsis in the ICU to see if low magnesium levels are connected to blood clotting problems. Researchers measured magnesium and clotting markers at admission and tracked outcomes like DIC and survival. The goal was to understand if magnesium could be a useful marker for clotting risk in sepsis.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 20 years at the time of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission. * Diagnosis of sepsis based on Sepsis-3 criteria \[confirmed or suspected infection + Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score ≥ 2\]. * Admission to the ICU during the study period. * Serum magnesium level measured at ICU admission. * Coagulation parameters \[e.g., platelet count, Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ratio (PT-INR), fibrinogen, D-dimer\] within 24 hours of ICU admission. * Complete clinical and laboratory data for calculating the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) overt Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) score. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with missing data on serum magnesium or coagulation markers at ICU admission. * ICU admissions due to non-infectious causes (e.g., trauma, elective surgery without infection). * Presence of pre-existing coagulopathy or hematologic malignancy affecting baseline coagulation (e.g., leukemia, hemophilia). * Known history of magnesium supplementation prior to ICU admission. * End-stage renal disease on dialysis, which may significantly alter magnesium handling. * Pregnant women, due to altered magnesium physiology. * Patients transferred from or to another hospital within 24 hours of ICU admission (incomplete follow-up).
