CBC-Diff Monocyte Volume Width Distribution
Monocyte Volume Width Distribution (MDW) is part of the CBC with Differential
|
Diagnostic Test: CBC-DIFF Monocyte Volume Width Distribution (MDW)
MDW measurement will be used to detect sepsis. Results will not be used to manage patients. |
- Potential reduction of Time to Antibiotics [ Time Frame: 12 hours after ED presentation ]Validate MDW's ability to reduce time to first antibiotics ordered by physician (decision to treat)-Simulated
- Performance [ Time Frame: 12 hours after ED presentation ]Validate MDW's ability to identify incidence of patients diagnosed as Sepsis vs Non-Sepsis, including SIRS and milder forms of infection (non-SIRS) meeting Sepsis EMR definition of >=2 SIRS criteria within 12 hours of ED presentation and any microbial testing collected within 24 hours of triage in the ED
- Health & Economic Benefits for Time to Antibiotics - Simulated [ Time Frame: 12 hours after ED presentation ]Determine MDW's ability to potentially reduced hospital stay using a simulated economic model
- Health & Economic Benefits for Hospital Stay - Simulated [ Time Frame: 12 hours after ED presentation ]Determine MDW's ability to potentially reduced Hospital stay, if applicable, using a simulated economic model
- Health & Economic Benefits for Mortality - Simulated [ Time Frame: 12 hours after ED presentation ]Determine MDW's ability to potentially reduced hospital morality, if applicable, using a simulated economic model
- Health & Economic Benefits for ICU Stay - Simulated [ Time Frame: 12 hours after ED presentation ]Determine MDW's ability to potentially reduced ICU stay, if applicable, using a simulated economic model
