NCT01294865

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the plasma levels of Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (suPAR) at the diagnosis and after treatment of sepsis, and to determine whether it has a diagnostic and prognostic value in late-onset neonatal sepsis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Levels of suPAR in late-onset neonatal sepsis

    Levels of suPAR will be dosed with suspicion of late-onset sepsis diagnosis at day 0 and at the end of the treatment. The evolution and the best cut-off values will be calculated for the diagnosis. Indices of sensibility, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value will be calculated.

    three weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Level of plasma C-reactive protein

    three weeks

  • the white blood cell count

    three weeks

Study Arms (2)

septic

Infants having clinical suspected late-onset neonatal sepsis enrolled in the study. Blood samples for suPAR were obtained before initiating antibiotic treatment and at the end of the treatment with other laboratory tests.

non-septic

Infants without any clinical or hematological septic signs. Blood samples will be taken only once.
