Value of Biomarkers of Brain Injury for Predicting Psycho-cognitive Sequelae Secondary to Sepsis: a Prospective Multicenter Study (SEPSYM)

3. august 2026 oppdatert av: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
To evaluate the value of biomarkers of neuronal and glial injury for predicting cognitive impairment (memory impairment assessed by a MoCA score < 26/30) at 3 months in patient admitted in the intensive care unit for a sepsis or a septic shock.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Sepsis is a major cause of admission to intensive care units and is responsible for approximately 11 million deaths worldwide each year. It may be complicated by an acute brain dysfunction known as sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE), which affects about 50% of patients and typically manifests as delirium or coma. The diagnosis of SAE is primarily clinical, with EEG and brain MRI providing supportive information. Risk factors for SAE are mainly related to patient characteristics, including advanced age, chronic kidney disease, and pre-existing neurodegenerative or cognitive disorders. The pathophysiology of SAE involves three major mechanisms: neuroinflammation, endothelial dysfunction with blood-brain barrier disruption, and mitochondrial dysfunction leading to neuronal injury. These mechanisms likely explain both acute neurological symptoms and long-term psycho-cognitive sequelae. Following sepsis, 30-60% of patients develop psychiatric disorders and cognitive impairments comparable to those observed after moderate traumatic brain injury or early Alzheimer's disease. These sequelae are part of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), supporting the need for structured post-ICU follow-up. However, the optimal target population and organization of such follow-up remain unclear, as some studies have reported reduced quality of life in patients receiving long-term follow-up. Identifying early biomarkers predictive of psycho-cognitive outcomes is therefore crucial, as current data on neuronal and glial biomarkers remain limited. Such biomarkers could improve prognostication, guide cognitive rehabilitation and psychological support, and contribute to the development of future neuroprotective strategies.

Primary objective:

To evaluate the value of biomarkers of brain injury for predicting cognitive impairment (memory impairment assessed by a MoCA score < 26/30) at 3 months.

Secondary objectives:

  • To evaluate the value of brain injury biomarkers for predicting delirium in the ICU, including hypoactive, hyperactive, and mixed phenotypes
  • To assess the association between brain injury biomarkers and the duration of delirium in the ICU
  • To evaluate the value of brain injury biomarkers for predicting psychological sequelae (anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression) at 3 months
  • To evaluate the value of brain injury biomarkers for predicting functional neurological outcomes using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended at ICU discharge and at 3 months
  • To assess the association between brain injury biomarkers and Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS)
  • To assess the association between brain injury biomarkers and EEG abnormalities in the ICU
  • To assess the association between brain injury biomarkers and MRI abnormalities at 3 months

Tidsramme: 3 months
Symptoms of anxiety and depression assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS; higher scores indicate greater symptom severity). PTSD assessed using the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5). Results will be reported as continuous scores and proportions of patients above validated thresholds
3 months
Functional outcome
Tidsramme: 3 months
Functional neurological outcome assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE; range 1-8, higher scores indicate better functional recovery).
