Observational Study of ICU Patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)
Research Question:
Do patients with different causes of severe Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
(SIRS) have similar or different severity of illness and recovery rates?
What are the biological similarities and differences between patients with severe
SIRS caused by different illnesses?
Will the biological tests we do in this study help us to predict how sick patients
will become and how their health will be after the severe SIRS is over?
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
This is an observational research study of subjects admitted to the ICU with severe
SIRS (and/or sepsis).
For ICU subjects enrolled: the study involves collecting up to 2 blood samples (3-5
days apart), data collection, and post-discharge follow-up questionnaires.
For healthy volunteers: Subjects age 65 and older are needed for a one-time blood
sample collection for comparison studies. A brief health questionnaire and set of
vital signs will also be collected at the study visit.
Volunteers must be age 65 or older and cannot be on antibiotics or antivirals for
current infection. Volunteers also must not have had an infection within 6 weeks prior
to the study visit.
