Sepsis & infection

Molecular Phenotyping of Sepsis and Differential Response to Fluid Resuscitation

Am J Respir Crit Care MedPublished Secondary analysis of the CLOVERS randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Molecular subphenotypes previously identified in AKI are also identifiable in sepsis and respond differently to fluid resuscitation strategy.

Study context

Population
Patients with sepsis enrolled in the CLOVERS trial with plasma collected at enrollment
Participants
1,289 patients
Comparison
Liberal vs restrictive fluid strategy, by molecular subphenotype
  • SP1n = 1,016
  • SP2n = 273
Methodological detailssubphenotype by treatment interaction analysis
  • Subphenotype by treatment interaction analysis

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

28-day mortality by subphenotype · 28 days

Further findings

Poor clinical outcomes, SP2 vs SP1

Greater risk in SP2 than SP1, independent of demographics, comorbidities and illness severity scores

Days free from ventilation, RRT and vasopressors (SP2)

Fewer days in SP2 with liberal vs restrictive strategy
