U.S., Sept. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07832903) titled 'Serial Platelet Count and Indices for Predicting In-Hospital Mortality in Sepsis' on Sept. 16.
Brief Summary: This observational study aims to determine if tracking changes in blood platelets over time can help predict the clinical outcomes of adult patients hospitalized with sepsis. While current medical scoring systems (like SOFA and APACHE) help doctors evaluate a patient's risk when they are first admitted, they are often static and may not capture how the body's response changes during the infection. Platelet count and the size of the platelets (mean platelet volume) change dynamically during sepsis.
