Conditions

Sepsis, Sepsis Syndrome, Septic Shock

Brief summary

Sepsis is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by a dynamic course and a clinical outcome dependent on several factors, and responsible for one in five deaths worldwide. The aim of this trial is to identify new prognostic markers for the progression of sepsis to septic shock, by comparing epigenetic markers between patients who have or have not developed severe forms of sepsis. The main objective of this preliminary study is to identify prognostic markers for the progression of sepsis to septic shock, i.e. to compare targeted markers between subjects with sepsis who progress to septic shock versus subjects with sepsis who do not progress to septic shock.

Interventions

OTHERblood sampling

Blood sampling (6ml) on admission and a second on discharge from intensive care.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Identify prognostic markers for the progression of sepsis to septic shock18 monthsCompare targeted markers between subjects with sepsis progressing to septic shock versus subjects with sepsis not progressing to septic shock.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Epigenetic markers comparaison18 monthsEpigenetic markers and associated candidate genes identified in PBMC at the time of sepsis between the group of subjects progressing to septic shock and the group of subjects not progressing to septic shock.
Differentials in epigenetic marks and associated candidate genes18 monthsCompare differentials in epigenetic marks and associated candidate genes (sepsis, second sampling) between the group of subjects progressing to septic shock and the group of subjects not progressing to septic shock
Epigenetic marks and associated candidate genes identified in PBMC18 monthsIn both groups, compare the epigenetic marks and associated candidate genes identified in PBMC during sepsis with those identified in PBMC collected at the time of septic shock or discharge from critical care.
