Clinical Features and Outcomes of CBP Versus Non-CBP in Septic Children
An observational study of Sepsis and Children, Only, run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University at 1 site in China.
Trial summary
The effect of continuous blood purification (CBP) in children is unclear. Also, the timing of early application is still being explored. In this study, we need to explore the efficacy and the timing of application of CBP in children with sepsis or septic shock. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Clinical Features and Outcomes of Continuous Blood Purification Versus Non-continuous Blood Purification in Pediatric Patients With Sepsis or Septic Shock
The effect of continuous blood purification (CBP) in children is unclear. Also, the timing of early application is still being explored. In this study, we need to explore the efficacy and the timing of application of CBP in children with sepsis or septic shock.
Read the detailed description
Early intervention of CBP can remove inflammatory factors in patients with sepsis and reduce the damage of inflammatory factors to organs; at the same time, it can also promote the body's immune response, significantly improve immune dysfunction, and restore the body's immune balance. However, the timing of early application of CBP in childhood sepsis is still unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the treatment and prognosis of this technology in the early treatment of sepsis.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CBPProcedure or surgery
Also called traditional therapy
continuous blood purification can prevent or treat fluid overload in children with septic shock or other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction who are unresponsive to fluid restriction and diuretic therapy management of septic AKI patients, particularly those with hemodynamic instability or fluid overload. Also, it can remove cytokines
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| sepsis group with CBP | The child with sepsis should be treated with CBP, but could not receive this treatment for various reasons Receives: Procedure: CBP | |
| sepsis group without CBP | The child with sepsis should be treated with CBP and received this treatment |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
survival rate
The survival rate of children in 28 days after hospital discharge
Measured: 28 days after hospital discharge
Secondary outcomes (1)
The creatinine level of non-survival children with sepsis
The creatinine level of non-survival children with sepsis in 28 days after hospital discharge
Measured: 28 days after hospital discharge
