Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Molecular analysis - CR gene expression (RNA) signature (e.g. measured by RNA sequencing and qPCR) Disease severity - Physician Diagnosis of sepsis - Biomarkers of disease severity - Presumed source of infection - Treatment parameters - Vital signs at presentation, and after 3 hours - Clinical impression score at presentation, and after 3 hours - MEDS score at presentation, and after 3 hours - SOFA score at presentation, and after 3 hours - APACHE-II score at presentation, and after 3 hours - PIRO score at presentation, and after 3 hours - Organ Failure Free Days - Admittance to the ICU - Length of stay at ICU - Length of hospital stay - Progression to septic shock (i.e. persistent hypotension despite adequate fluid resuscitation) - In-hospital mortality - 28-day mortality Demographic parameters, medication use, co-morbidity and functional status - Demographic characteristics (i.e. age, sex) - Smoking - Known pregnancy - Co-morbidity: Charlson comorbidity index - Functional status: Barthel Index and WHO performance index - Medication use | — |
