The Ohio State University Sepsis Registry

Terminated

• Conditions: Sepsis

• Registration Number: NCT00837421
• Lead Sponsor: Ohio State University

Brief Summary

Specific Aim #1: To collect follow-up information about patients with sepsis in the OSUMC MICU who survive to hospital discharge for future retrospective IRB-approved studies.

Specific Aim #2: To collect a registry of patients who would be interested in hearing more information about future prospective IRB-approved studies for survivors of sepsis.

Specific Aim #3: To collect a blood sample from patients with sepsis admitted to the OSUMC MICU for future retrospective IRB-approved studies.

Detailed Description

There are several goals of the Ohio State University Sepsis Registry and Blood Bank. First, we hope that, by collecting a cohort of patients with sepsis, we will provide information for future studies with data of specific relevance to sepsis (the Clinical Registry). Second, by following survivors of sepsis for a more prolonged period than prior studies, we will better understand the disease process and the duration of recovery (the Follow-up Registry). We will contact hospital survivors every six months to assess their vital status, living situation and employment. Furthermore, subjects will have the opportunity to find out about new studies as they arise. Finally, we will ask subjects for permission to collect a blood sample (10 cc) to use for future studies analyzing genetic and protein data. There will be a step-wise consent process that will allow subjects to opt out of any or all parts of the study.
