About this study

Official title: Construction of an Artificial Intelligence Prognostic Prediction Model for Sepsis Based on Time Series Analysis

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. It is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with an inpatient mortality rate of 10-20%. Sepsis is a severe complication in critically ill patients and can lead to septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), usually triggered by severe trauma, surgery, and infections. Despite the availability of advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring technologies, the incidence and mortality of sepsis remain high, posing a significant global challenge to the medical community. Over 49 million people worldwide develop sepsis annually, with approximately 11 million deaths, resulting in a mortality rate of about 15%-25%.

This study aims to develop a prognosis prediction model for sepsis patients using a neural network architecture (Transformer algorithm), based on time-series data. The primary outcome observed is the mortality outcome of sepsis patients. The goal of the research is to enhance the early identification of high-risk sepsis patients, thereby optimizing the timing of sepsis treatment and intervention and improving the accuracy of prognosis prediction for sepsis patients.

  1. Research Background Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. It is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with an inpatient mortality rate of 10-20%. Sepsis is a severe complication in critically ill patients and can lead to septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), usually triggered by severe trauma, surgery, and infections. Despite the availability of advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring technologies, the incidence and mortality of sepsis remain high, posing a significant global challenge to the medical community. Over 49 million people worldwide develop sepsis annually, with approximately 11 million deaths, resulting in a mortality rate of about 15%-25%.

  3. Research Objective This study aims to develop a prognosis prediction model for sepsis patients using a neural network architecture (Transformer algorithm), based on time-series data. The primary outcome observed is the mortality outcome of sepsis patients. The goal of the research is to enhance the early identification of high-risk sepsis patients, thereby optimizing the timing of sepsis treatment and intervention and improving the accuracy of prognosis prediction for sepsis patients.
  4. Research Content 2.1 Inclusion Criteria Patients diagnosed with sepsis at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2020 to December 2023. 2.2 Exclusion Criteria 1) Age under 18 years; 2) Gender unknown; 3) Incorrect or invalid discharge diagnosis; 4) Hospitalization period less than 24 hours; 5) Missing data exceeds 30%. 2.3 Sample Size 3,000 cases. 2.4 Data to be Collected A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients diagnosed with sepsis at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2020 to December 2023 will be conducted. The baseline data of patients (including age, gender, comorbidities, history of malignant tumors, lesion sites, pathological types, etc.), occurrence of severe complications, total hospital stay, survival time, and other relevant information will be summarized to build a time-series-based prognosis prediction model for sepsis mortality risk.
  5. Clinical Research Ethical Principles and Requirements This clinical research will comply with the Declaration of Helsinki issued by the World Medical Association and the relevant regulations set forth by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China concerning the Ethical Review of Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects. The research will only utilize retrospective medical records and/or specimens, with all personal identifiers removed. There will be no risk to the subjects, nor will it negatively impact their rights or health. Therefore, informed consent is waived. The research data will be stored at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, accessible to the researchers, supervising departments, and the ethics review committee. Any public reports related to the research findings will not disclose the personal identity of the subjects. We will make every effort within the legal framework to protect the privacy and personal medical information of the subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Biomarker level

    Including inflammatory markers (such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins (IL-6, IL-10), and procalcitonin (PCT)) and metabolic markers (such as lactate levels and arterial blood gas pH values) for sepsis prognostic analysis.

    Measured: 5 Years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. SOFA score

    Standard measure of organ function for sepsis.

    Measured: 5 Years

  2. Length of ICU stay

    Reflects the severity of illness and critical care needs.

    Measured: 5 Years

  3. APACHE II score

    Standard measure of severity for sepsis.

    Measured: 5 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Prognostic Model, run by West China Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Biomarker level (time frame: 5 Years). 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 9 Dec 2024.
