Study summary

Sepsis is the second leading cause of maternal death in the U.S. For racial and ethnic minoritized birthing people, especially those who are Black, living in poverty, and from underserved communities, labor and postpartum are particularly vulnerable risk periods. The goal of this multi-center, multidisciplinary observational study is to optimize risk prediction accounting for the social determinants of health, and establish a novel maternal care continuity model to reduce sepsis- related death and disability and increase maternal health equity.

Read the detailed description

Maternal sepsis is the second leading cause of maternal death, major cause of morbidity, and preventable in most cases. EnCoRe MoMS: Engaging Communities to Reduce Morbidity from Maternal Sepsis will (Aim 2) Develop algorithms to optimize prediction of sepsis around delivery and postpartum.

In the UG3 phase, robust community engagement and research infrastructures were established to: Aim 2a. Create a rich electronic health records (EHR) database from the Perinatal Research Consortium (PRC). Aim 2b. Collate neighborhood-level datasets characterizing social determinants of health (SDOH)

In the UH3 phase, the investigators will Aim 2c. Harmonize patient-level EHR and neighborhood-level SDOH datasets and use machine learning models to analyze the individual and joint contributions of patient and neighborhood factors to optimize sepsis risk prediction within the PRC sample.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maternal sepsis risk

    Sepsis as evaluated by the following scoring systems: Sepsis-2 (proven or suspected infection in combination with at least two systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria); Sepsis-3 (organ dysfunction as defined by an acute change in total organ dysfunction score within 24 hours of suspected infection); and Center for Disease Control (CDC) Sepsis (presumed infection and organ dysfunction based on CDC criteria).

    Time frame: Delivery hospitalization through 8 weeks postpartum

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 21, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
