Sepsis, Severe Infection
Conditions
Brief summary
The measurement of monocyte volume width distribution (MDW) is intended for use with adult patients presenting to the emergency department (ED), where a CBC with Differential has been ordered, as an aid in the early detection of patients with or developing sepsis. The study will establish the clinical performance of MDW for detection of sepsis in the ED.
Detailed description
A prospective multi-center study to establish the clinical utility of the measurement of monocyte volume width distribution, a cell population parameter of the CBC-Differential, on the Beckman Coulter Unicel DxH analyzers. The study will validate the cut-off for the early detection of sepsis in an adult emergency room population where the standard of care included a CBC with Differential and will evaluate the diagnostic performance of the parameter.
Interventions
MDW measurement used to detect sepsis. Results will not be used to manage patients

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Identification of sepsis vs. non-sepsis, including SIRS and infection (non-SIRS) by adjudication based on the 2001 SCCM sepsis definition (sepsis-2) | 12 hours after presentation to the ED | Determination of the diagnostic accuracy, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve |
