New blood score could predict septic shock survival
NCT ID NCT01231672
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new scoring system that uses routine blood tests to predict the risk of death within one month for patients in intensive care with septic shock. Researchers looked at 780 patients to see how well the score works. The goal is to help doctors make faster, better decisions for these very sick patients.
