An integrated clinico-metabolomic model improves prediction of death in sepsis.

Journal Article Sci Transl Med · July 24, 2013 Sepsis is a common cause of death, but outcomes in individual patients are difficult to predict. Elucidating the molecular processes that differ between sepsis patients who survive and those who die may permit more appropriate treatments to be deployed. We ... Full text Link to item Cite

This multicenter study exa ... Full text Link to item Cite

Early lactate clearance is associated with biomarkers of inflammation, coagulation, apoptosis, organ dysfunction and mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock

Journal Article Journal of Inflammation · March 11, 2010 Background. Lactate clearance, a surrogate for the magnitude and duration of global tissue hypoxia, is used diagnostically, therapeutically and prognostically. This study examined the association of early lactate clearance with selected inflammatory, coagu ... Full text Cite
