Article Synopsis
- Maternal sepsis is a major cause of death in pregnant women, making early detection and treatment crucial, but pregnancy-related physiological changes often hide its symptoms.
- The study aims to identify new biomarkers for diagnosing maternal sepsis by examining blood samples from both healthy pregnant women and those with suspected sepsis to better understand the underlying mechanisms.
- Participants will include pregnant women over 18 years old, with data collected on physiological conditions and blood samples analyzed for various biological markers to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
