Brief Summary

Persistence of a marked compensatory anti-inflammatory innate immune response after an insult is termed immunoparalysis. There is no biomarker available to determine the immune status of patient. Thus, the need for early and definite diagnosis of immune status of patient with sepsis, as well as the identification of patients at risk of evolving with severe organ dysfunctions, is crucial. Most important of all, speed is the key to survival. Therefore, it of crucial importance to identify which patient characteristic determines the poor prognosis. Early intervention can improve the prognosis. Investigators foresee an urgent need to identify predictors for mortality in severe sepsis, including clinical factors or immune status. Recently, the PIRO model has been proposed as a way of stratifying septic patients according to their Predisposing condition, the severity of Infection, the Response to therapy and the degree of Organ dysfunction. The immune status may be associated with above model. However, there is paucity data addressing this issue. In this study, investigators will also analyze the progression of patient condition during treatment and the associated immune status change. In the future, Investigators hope the determination of immune status may contribute to this model of classification rather than just being used as prognostic markers. Despite the advances in the knowledge of the basic processes that trigger and sustain the systemic inflammatory response in sepsis, the search for a "magic bullet" to treat this syndrome has been frustrating. The incidence of severe sepsis and septic shock still remains quite high, as does its mortality, which has decreased very little over the past decades.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study will be conducted at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. All adult patients presenting with sepsis or severe sepsis will be enrolled on admission to medical intensive units (total 34 beds). Sepsis and severe sepsis are defined as American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine consensus criteria for sepsis syndromes.

You may qualify if:

  • Severe sepsis
  • Septic shock

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients are \< 18 yrs
  • Patients are immunocompromised (treatment with corticosteroids \>1 mg/kg equivalent prednisone)
  • Bone marrow or organ transplant recipients,
  • Leucopenia \[white blood cells count\< 109/L\] or neutropenia \[polymorphonuclear granulocyte count \<0.5 109/L\]
  • Hematologic malignancy
