NCT06090526

Brief Summary

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. For clinical operationalization, organ dysfunction can be represented by an increase in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of 2 points or more, which is associated with an in-hospital mortality greater than 10%. pancreatic stone protein has been studied as biomarker of sepsis and results suggests that it has higher diagnostic performance. The main objective of this study is to identify ability of pancreatic stone protein (PSP) as a new biomarker for diagnosis of urosepsis in Intensive Care Units comparison to other biomarkers and its role as a prognostic marker for mortality

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PSP ability to detect urinary sepsis

    time course of PSP serum levels above normal range 20-50ng/ml in absence or presence of infection.

    measurements from admission and patients will be followed until death or discharge from or for 30 days whichever occurred the ICU

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • PSP ability to predict prognosis of sepsis in ICU.

    measurements from admission and patients will be followed until death or discharge from or for 30 days whichever occurred the ICU

Study Arms (2)

cases group

. first group (case group) will include 40 patients who will be suspected to have urinary septicemia at intensive care units of Ain Shams university.

Diagnostic Test: pancreatic stone protein "PSP" measurement

control group

Second group (control group) will include 40 nonhospitalized, healthy age and sex matched adults.

Diagnostic Test: pancreatic stone protein "PSP" measurement

Interventions

Blood samples will be collected for biomarker (PCT, CRP, and PSP) measurements in admission and 24 hours, 72 hours from admission and patients will be followed until death or discharge from the ICU or for 30 days, whichever occurred.
