What we study
The Baines Lab does clinical research on pediatric sepsis. A recent student project examines whether changes in white blood cell count after ICU admission predict outcomes in children; its papers use biomarkers and subtypes of septic shock.

Pediatric Sepsis Biomarker Risk Model (PERSEVERE) – White Blood Cell Count Change
The lab looks at whether a change in white blood cell count within 48 hours of PICU admission predicts better outcomes for children with sepsis. They analyzed data from 25 patients, including age, sex, race, PRISM III score, and WBC counts, and found no significant link.
