This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Summary

This study will check if a new scoring system called SOFA-2 can better predict which ICU patients are likely to die within 30 days, compared to the current standard. Researchers will also measure how common sepsis and septic shock are in Turkish intensive care units. About 2,500 adult ICU patients will be observed, but no experimental treatments will be given.

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 give doctors a better tool to predict which ICU patients are at highest risk of dying within 30 days, helping guide care decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly help patients. The new score may not prove more accurate than existing methods.
