Canadian Researchers Develop Test They Say Can Help Diagnose Life-Threatening Sepsis

A machine learning and centrifugal microfluidics platform for bedside prediction of sepsis

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysfunctional response to infection. Delays in diagnosis have substantial impact on survival. Herein, blood samples from 586 in-house patients with suspected sepsis are used in conjunction with machine learning and cross-validation to define a six-gene expression signature of immune cell reprogramming, termed Sepset, to predict clinical deterioration within the first 24 h (h) of clinical pre

Rapid bedside test predicts sepsis with more than 90% accuracy

Canadian scientists have developed a blood test and portable device that can determine the onset of sepsis faster and more accurately than existing methods.

Canadian-made test could help diagnose sepsis, researchers say - National

Sepsis kills thousands of people in Canada and close to 50 million people worldwide every year, said Dr. Claudia dos Santos, and treating it quickly is crucial to survival.

Canadians devise rapid test to predict sepsis

TORONTO – A team of scientists from across Canada has developed an innovative molecular-based blood test and portable device to quickly predict the risk of sepsis over the first 24 hours of clinical presentation. The researchers have published a paper describing the test and its development in Nature Communications, showing it to be a major milestone in the way doctors will evaluate and treat sepsis. The study was the result of a collaboration b…
