NCT ID NCT04923828
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will collect data from 2,000 children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) with severe infections across major Chinese cities. Over 10 years, researchers will track which germs cause these infections, how they are treated, and patient outcomes. The goal is to build a high-quality database to improve infection management in critically ill children.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide a clearer picture of which germs cause severe infections in children and how they are best treated.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new drug or therapy, so it may not lead to immediate changes in care.
