Even with blood cultures result, a delay in diagnosis may happen while waiting for the results. Therefore, clinical guidelines are still required to provide guidance for the clinician caring for a patient with severe sepsis or septic shock. In this study, a validated glucose-insulin model is ...
Objectives:To isolate the organism responsible for neonatal septicemia from the blood and to correlate the blood culture results with the Sepsis score and the Sepsis screen parameters.Methods:This prospective study was done over a period of one year. Blood samples from 115 clinically suspected neonata...
University of Queensland researchers have developed a method to predict if a child is likely to develop sepsis and go into organ failure. Associate Professor Lachlan Coin from UQ's Institute for Molecular Bioscience said sepsis was a life-threatening condition where a severe immune response to infec...
results from flow cytometer. In clinical studies, we have used PoC biochip to monitor leukocyte counts and nCD64 levels from patients’ blood at different times of their stay in the hospital. Furthermore, we have shown the biochip’s utility for improved sepsis diagnosis by combining these ...
Objectives: Although blood purification improves outcomes in animal studies of sepsis, results of clinical trials have been mixed. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials to determine the association between various blood purification techniques and all-cause mortality in ...
Figure 1 Rate of sepsis status, per Sepsis-3 definition, across HR interpretation bands (A) and blood culture results (B). 28-day survival probability for in-hospital infection associated mortality for (C) HR interpretation bands and (D) blood culture results. * and *** represent p < 0.05...
Compared with blood culturing, the preliminary data showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 60%, specificity of 98%, negative predictive value of 91% and positive predictive value of 86%.The data are discussed with respect to the significance of the molecular test for the diagnosis of sepsis. Special...

Current biomarkers for sepsis are limited by their non-specificity, short half-life, and insensitive response to therapy. Recently, we have demonstrated that citrullinated histone H3(CitH3) is released into the blood from neutrophil extracellular traps(N
The Japan Society for Blood Purification in Critical Care (JSBPCC) has reported survey results on blood purification therapy (BPT) for critically ill patients in 2005, 2009, and 2013. To clarify the current clinical status, including details of the modes
