Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Since this trial is focused on long-term follow-up after ICU treatment for sepsis rather than testing a new drug or procedure, can you help me understand what participating would actually involve day-to-day, and whether it fits my current situation?
2This study is measuring all-cause mortality over the long term — what does that mean for what information my family and I might learn from it, and how would that data be used to help future sepsis patients?
3Because this trial is listed as 'not yet recruiting,' how soon do you expect it to open, and is there anything I should be doing in the meantime to document my care or health status that might be relevant if I do enroll later?
4Since the trial has no assigned phase, which usually means it's observational rather than testing a treatment, does participating in this study change my actual medical care at all, or would I still receive the same standard treatment for sepsis regardless?
5Are there other currently active studies or standard-of-care options for sepsis recovery that I should be considering right now while this trial is still in the pre-recruitment stage?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
