What this Trial Is About

Researchers are comparing clinical outcomes and inflammatory responses between patients with viral sepsis caused by COVID-19 and those with bacterial sepsis. This observational cohort study analyzes data from ICU patients admitted between July 2021 and December 2023 at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital. The goal is to identify reliable biomarkers and diagnostic methods to improve patient care through personalized approaches. The study includes two groups: one with patients confirmed to have viral sepsis via RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2, and another with patients diagnosed with bacterial sepsis confirmed by positive bacterial cultures. Data collected include demographic information, clinical outcomes such as mortality rate and ICU stay length, inflammatory markers like cytokines, and treatment details including the use of mechanical ventilation, CRRT, ECMO, and antibiotics. Participants' clinical data, inflammatory marker levels, and treatment information are retrospectively analyzed. The research team evaluates outcomes such as 28-day mortality, length of ICU stay, and incidence of secondary infections. Advanced statistical methods assess the predictive value of biomarkers. This study aims to deepen understanding of sepsis types to guide future personalized diagnosis and treatment strategies.
