Droplet Digital PCR Combines With Transcriptome Analysis in Early Warning of Sepsis in the Emergency Department
April 16, 2024 updated by: Shanghai East Hospital
Clinical Evaluation of Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction in Combination With Transcriptome Analysis in Early Warning of Sepsis in the Emergency Department: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study
Rapid identification of pathogens and early warning of host response are key to improve the prognosis of sepsis.
Establishing a comprehensive identification system based on pathogen identification and host immune status is an effective way to achieve early warning stratification of patients with infections in the emergency department.
This prospective multicenter clinical study will combine droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and transcriptomic molecular target assay for validation in patients with suspected sepsis in the emergency department.
The purpose is to (1) compare the efficacy of ddPCR with blood culture for early diagnosis and prognosis; (2) assess the diagnostic value of transcriptomic molecular targets based on 29 messenger RNA for the presence or absence of infection as well as infectious agents, and to evaluate their efficacy for prognosis; and (3) assess the diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring value of ddPCR combined with transcriptome analysis methods.

Detailed Description
Rapid identification of pathogens and early warning of host response are key to improve the prognosis of sepsis.
Establishing a comprehensive identification system based on pathogen identification and host immune status is an effective way to achieve early warning stratification of patients with infections in the emergency department.
Therefore, based on our preliminary single-center study, this prospective multicenter clinical study will combine droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and transcriptomic molecular target assay for validation in patients with suspected sepsis in the emergency department.
The purpose is to (1) compare the efficacy of ddPCR with blood culture for early diagnosis and prognosis; (2) assess the diagnostic value of transcriptomic molecular targets based on 29 messenger RNA for the presence or absence of infection as well as infectious agents, and to evaluate their efficacy for prognosis; and (3) assess the diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring value of ddPCR combined with transcriptome analysis methods.
In a word, this study will be undertaken to assess the diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring value of early warning models for sepsis in emergency department and to promote them to improve the identification ability of emergency infections.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental group
The experimental group will recruit 300 participants undergoing blood culture, droplet digital PCR and transcriptome analysis.
|
Droplet digital PCR has potential in resolving polymicrobial infection because it simultaneously achieves unprecedented high sensitivity , high specificity, and absolute quantification without the need for a standard curve.

Control group
The control group will recruit 60 participants undergoing blood culture only.
