About this study

Official title: Sepsis in ICU: Causes and Outcomes in Diabetics and Non Diabetics in Assiut University Hospital

Identify prevalence of sepsis in ICU of Assiut university hospital 2.Clarify different causes of sepsis in patients admitted to ICU . 3.Compare causes and outcomes of sepsis between diabetics versus non diabetics .

4.Screening for the co1.mmonest organism causing sepsis in critically ill patients .

Read the detailed description

Sepsis, is defined as an infection with organ dysfunction, There is wide variation in sepsis rates, causative microorganisms, and outcome in ICU patients around the world.

Many conservative estimates considered sepsis as a leading cause of mortality and critical illness worldwide .

sepsis epidemiology studies worldwide revealed a highly variable incidence of 13-300 per 100,000 inhabitants per year for severe sepsis and 11 per 100,000 inhabitants per year for septic shock .

Factors such as advancing age, immunosuppression and multidrug-resistant infection play a role in increasing incidence of sepsis during recent decades .

Patients who survive sepsis often have long-term physical, psychological, and cognitive disabilities with significant health and social implications.

Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of developing infections and sepsis and they constitute 20.1-22.7% of all sepsis patients.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in ICU patients is as high as 30%, And such patients are at increased risk of experiencing in-hospital Complications, compared to patients without diabetes.

Infective complications may be reduced with lower blood glucose concentrations Moreover, in critically ill patients without diabetes, Hyperglycemia is associated with increased mortality, risk of infection, Kidney injury and cardiovascular complications.

Moreover, diabetes is a major risk factor for both Acute Kidney Injury and sepsis.

Sepsis also is a major cause of Acute Kidney Injury, which develops in one-fourth of all patients with sepsis and half of patients with bacteraemia or shock .

Sepsis-related AKI is associated with high mortality rates of up to 70%.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PCR for legionella ,blood ,urine cultures and from catheters or source of infectionOther

    Investigations to detect cause of sepsis as blood cultures ,urine cultures and from catheters .also PCR for legionella will be done

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Detect the most common organism causing sepsis in ICU

    Applying culture and sensitivity test for patients developed sepsis on admission and follow up will direct us for appropriate treatment for all patients

    Measured: 20 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of sepsis in diabetics versus non diabetics in ICU.

    Assess the effect of hyperglycemia on spsis outcomes.

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis, 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 0 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 Jun 2023. 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 Mai Ahmed fathi, Specialist (01009490399, doc.maiahmad89@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detect the most common organism causing sepsis in ICU (time frame: 20 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Jun 2023.
