Brief Summary  
STUDY NAME: ROLE OF AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES IN SEPSIS OUTCOMES

AIM OF THE STUDY : TO ELUCIDATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AUTOIMMUNE
DISEASES AND THEIR ROLE IN SEPSIS OUTCOMES

OBJECTIVES:
1.To investigate predictive factors of sepsis outcomes in individuals with underlying
autoimmune diseases.
2.To quantify the severity of sepsis in context of autoimmune diseases using SOFA scoring
system.
3. To evaluate the impact of autoimmune disease treatment on sepsis outcomes

STUDY PERIOD: 6 Months

SAMPLE SIZE AND ESTIMATION : The sample size is of 82 participants for whole study. It has
been calculated based on multiple regression, as suggested by Green (1991) with the
formula N >50 + 8P, where P is the number of independent variables. I.e Predictor
variables such as age, sex, SOFA score on admission, and immune modulation
medications

DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS :
• Participants will be recruited from both the ward and ICU admitted under
medicine department.
• Written consent will be obtained from each participant or from participant legal
representatives (if participant unable to provide consent) before their inclusion in
the study. They will be provided with comprehensive information about the study.
• Participants will be subjected to detailed history, physical examination, and data will
be collected in a structured proforma.
• Lab investigations required for SOFA score calculation (PaO2, platelets, Bilirubin,
creatinine), CRP, Procalcitonin, NLR ratio, and documented bacteraemia will be
collected.

OUTCOME MEASURES: 

Primary outcome Measures:
1. Sepsis severity: SOFA score at the time of hospitalisation.

Secondary outcome Measures:
1. Mortality: both in-hospital and at specified follow-up periods.
2. Length of Hospital Stay.
3. Evaluation of Autoimmune disease treatment on sepsis outcomes.
