Sequential Application of Time-Stratified Demographic, Vital, Clinical–Laboratory, and Microbiology Variables for Accurate and Rapid Identification of Sepsis

New research shows that combining early clinical and laboratory data with the SeptiCyte® RAPID host-response test can significantly improve the accuracy of sepsis diagnosis within the first three hours of ICU presentation, potentially supporting earlier and more informed treatment decisions.

Validation of SeptiCyte RAPID to Discriminate Sepsis From Noninfectious Systemic Inflammation in Critically Ill Children

A study of 284 critically ill children found that SeptiCyte® RAPID can help distinguish sepsis from noninfectious systemic inflammation, with diagnostic performance comparable to adults and results available in about one hour.

Ruling In and Ruling Out Sepsis Using Likelihood Ratios of a Host Response Assay

This study evaluated data from 889 critically ill patients to determine how likelihood ratios across score bands of the SeptiCyte® RAPID gene expression assay (SeptiScore) differentiate sepsis from non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The findings demonstrate that high SeptiScores yield strong positive likelihood ratios to effectively rule in sepsis, while low SeptiScores provide low negative likelihood ratios suitable for ruling it out.

Clinical evaluation of the SeptiScore biomarker for the diagnosis of healthcare-associated infections in critically ill trauma patients: a multicenter derivation and validation cohort study

This multicenter study found that SeptiScore was more accurate than standard infection markers such as C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and white blood cell count for distinguishing true healthcare-associated infections from trauma-related inflammation in critically ill ICU trauma patients.

Diagnostic accuracy of SeptiCyte® RAPID to discriminate sepsis from non-infectious critical illness in patients meeting sepsis criteria according to sepsis-3 definition at icu admission

Read more about this study to validate the SeptiCyte® RAPID assay, a molecular test to distinguish sepsis from sterile inflammation, by determining its diagnostic accuracy in critically ill patients who meet criteria for sepsis according to Sepsis-3 definition on ICU admission.

Likelihood of Blood Culture Positivity Using SeptiCyte® RAPID

Higher SeptiCyte® RAPID scores were associated with a greater likelihood of positive blood cultures in patients with suspected sepsis. The findings suggest the test may help clinicians estimate infection risk earlier than traditional culture results.
