About this study
Official title: Early Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis Using Modified Hematological Scoring System
Sepsis is defined as a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) associated with infection diagnosed either on microbiologic cultures or strong clinical evidence of an infection.
Read the detailed description
Sepsis is defined as a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) associated with infection diagnosed either on microbiologic cultures or strong clinical evidence of an infection..Worldwide, neonatal sepsis is responsible for 4 million deaths annually and 99% of them occur in developing countries.. . morbidity associated with sepsis includes sensorineural hearing loss, visual disturbances, seizures, and neurodevelopmental issues.. Blood culture is considered as gold standard for diagnosis of sepsis. The ideal diagnostic test should be inexpensive, have quick results Hematologic scoring system(HSS) of Rodwell et al. includes the following: a) White blood cell and platelet count b) White blood differential count c) Nucleated red blood cell count (to correct WBC count) d) Assessment of neutrophil morphology for degenerative changes. A modified HSS(modified hematological scoring system) was developed by removing the repetitive parameters, adding a new parameter - nucleated RBC.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Sepses, Neonatal, run by Assiut University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Early detection of neonatal sepsia (time frame: average 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04105413, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Sep 2019.
