No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about how transposable element levels affect the patient outcomes in sepsis. The main questions it aims to answer is:

1. Do transposable elements prematurely age the immune systems of patients with sepsis?
2. Do transposable elements correlate with increased mortality in patients with sepsis in the ICU?
3. Do transposable elements correlate with increased amount of secondary infections in patients with sepsis in the ICU?

Participants will have blood drawn from them but will not be subjected to additional interventions.
