简要总结
Background:
Sepsis is an illness that occurs when the body s immune system runs out of control. This can damage organs. Sepsis causes an estimated 1 in 5 deaths worldwide. In this natural history study, researchers want to learn more about how the immune system changes during sepsis. They hope this knowledge will help them find better ways to treat sepsis.
Objective:
To understand how sepsis affects the body over time.
Eligibility
People aged 18 years and older admitted to INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Virginia and who have sepsis.
Design:
Researchers will collect data from participants medical records.
Participants will have blood drawn at least 5 times while they are in the hospital. Blood may be collected for up to 30 days, if they remain in the hospital that long. The blood will be taken from access lines that are already in place. Some blood draws will be optional.
Participants may opt to have up to 3 tests of their heart function while they are in the hospital.
Some participants may have a sample of fluid collected from their lungs.
Participants will have a follow-up visit about 90 days after they join the study. This visit will be by phone call if they have left the hospital. They will fill out a questionnaire. They will answer questions about their health and how they feel. The call will last about 30 minutes....
详细描述
Study Description:
This is a natural history study intended to allow the characterization of neutrophil biology and other contributors to the pathogenesis along with short-term outcomes of patients hospitalized with sepsis. Patients admitted to INOVA Fairfax Hospital with sepsis will be enrolled, undergo clinical evaluation, clinical data capture, and will have blood drawn that will be processed and analyzed at the NIH.
Objectives:
The aim of this natural history/observational study is to develop a cohort of patients admitted to the hospital with sepsis who can be followed longitudinally to achieve the following:

结局指标
主要结局
To investigate the contribution of neutrophils and neutrophil subsets including low density neutrophils to the dysregulated immune response that occurs during the acute phase of sepsis.
时间窗: 10 years
The primary outcomes is intended to study how certain immune cells contribute to sepsis pathogenesis.
次要结局
- To characterize spleen tyrosine kinase expression across immune cells and correlate with soluble biomarkers, cellular phenotypes and gene expression to determine mechanistic pathways that may be amenable to host-direct therapies.(10 years)
