Description

Tamas Szakmany and a large team of co-authors published this sepsis study in 2023. Telling sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection, apart from sterile inflammation is a daily problem in intensive care, and slow answers cost lives. The team hunted for gene signals in blood cells that flag severe inflammation and separate the two states. They recruited intensive care patients across several United Kingdom hospitals, including abdominal and lung sepsis cases and cardiac arrest patients with sterile inflammation, plus healthy donors.

Nineteen strongly changed genes marked severe inflammation from either cause, and a two-gene signature classified it almost perfectly in their data. A second signature of five genes separated sepsis from sterile inflammation with high accuracy. The authors note the signatures performed unevenly on outside datasets, possibly due to platform differences. The work aims at a point-of-care test that speeds the first treatment decision.
