🚨 On #ClinicalTrialsDay, we’re spotlighting key research!

This study on community-acquired pneumonia in Canadian hospitals found that patients in community hospitals were older, frailer, had more co-morbidities, and faced higher risks of organ failure. (1/3)

These findings highlight why community hospitals must be included in clinical research—ensuring study results are generalizable to all Canadians. (2/3)

To address this uncertainty, the authors investigated whether delays in blood processing of up to 72 hours affect the stability of biomarkers that are commonly studied in critically ill patients.

Biosampling studies of plasma and serum markers in critically ill patients typically require lab infrastructure that community hospitals often do not have.

A potential solution is a "simplified" approach, where samples are collected at the bedside and shipped to a central site for processing. While this could enhance community hospital participation, the impact of processing delays on biomarker stability is uncertain.
