NCT02567305

Brief Summary

This study is designed to assess the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in neonatal and pediatric sepsis as well as to evaluate markers of NETs formation as early predictors of neonatal and pediatric sepsis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

    Neutrophil Extracellular Traps are measured by serum markers

    2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Sepsis

    2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Actual Sepsis

For infants below 44 weeks inclusive of corrected age clinical sepsis is defined, according to the Expert Meeting on Neonatal and Pediatric Sepsis (Report on the Expert Meeting on Neonatal and Pediatric Sepsis - 8 June 2010, EMA London). Confirmed sepsis is defined as positive culture for pathogens in a sample from a normally sterile site and at least one laboratory sign or clinical sign (not shown) For children above 44 weeks corrected age clinical sepsis is defined according to the Goldstein criteria (Goldstein et al, 2005). Confirmed sepsis: positive culture for pathogens in a sample from a normally sterile site and at least one laboratory sign or clinical sign (not shown)

Other: Markers of NET formation

Suspected Sepsis

None of the above.

Other: Markers of NET formation

Interventions

i.e. Plasma DNA, Histone, MPO, DNase

Also known as: Typical biomarkers of NETosis
