Can simple tests predict death in sepsis patients with poor nutrition?
NCT ID NCT07278167
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study analyzed data from 400 sepsis patients with nutritional risk to find factors that predict death within 28 days. Researchers looked at lab tests and physical measurements. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.
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 could help doctors identify sepsis patients at nutritional risk who are more likely to die within 28 days, allowing earlier intervention.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective analysis, not a treatment trial. It can only suggest associations, not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all sepsis patients.
