Trial summary

The aim of the study was to identify co-variates associated with 30-day mortality in septic patients admitted to the emergency department in order to improve morbidity \& mortality as a sequence of sepsis in Assiut \& Suez Canal Universities by comparing both scores by utilizing parameters that are readily available .

About this study

Official title: Comparison of National Early Warning Score (NEWS) & Sepsis Patient Evaluation in the Emergency Department (SPEED) for The Early Identification of Sepsis in the Emergency Department

The aim of the study was to identify co-variates associated with 30-day mortality in septic patients admitted to the emergency department in order to improve morbidity \& mortality as a sequence of sepsis in Assiut \& Suez Canal Universities by comparing both scores by utilizing parameters that are readily available .

Read the detailed description

There are a relatively large number of conditions where urgent intervention is required in order to secure the best outcome for the patient. Examples include sepsis, myocardial infarction (MI). Clinical diagnosis of some of these conditions is not always straightforward, but a common theme is that many present with deranged physiology and vital signs. Implementation of an early warning score on arrival at hospital has helped to identify seriously ill patients .

There is a high mortality rate associated with severe infection at all ages Sepsis occurs when life-threatening organ dysfunction is associated with infection.

What is a national early warning score (NEWS)? The following six simple physiological parameters are included in the scoring system: respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, temperature; the normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5-37 °C( ), systolic blood pressure, pulse rate \& level of consciousness.

What is a sepsis patient evaluation in the emergency department (SPEED)? The following simple clinical, physiological and laboratory parameters are included in the scoring system : hypotension (systolic pressure <90 mmHg) hypothermia (body temperature <36.0°C) , hypoxemia (pulse oximetry <90%), low hematocrit (hematocrit <0.38), Acidosis (blood PH < 7.35), elevated blood lactate >2.4 mmol/L \& source of infection as pneumonia.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hospital admission .

    Admission to hospital from the Emergency Department.

    Measured: Day 0

  2. ICU/HDU admission .

    Admission to the Intensive Care Unit or High Dependency Unit from the Emergency Department .

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Readmission in the ED .

    Re-visits to the ED after the index-visit .

    Measured: Hour 72, Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis Scores, 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 4 Nov 2021. 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?

Contact Mostafa H. Mostafa, GP (+201552590309, moustafa.13212250@med.aun.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality . (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT05107297, which also lists 3 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 4 Nov 2021.
