Biomarkers in predicting mortality and treatment in hemodialysis patients
Circulating natriuretic peptides are useful biomarkers of left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure in the general population. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is also considered a sensitive marker of myocardial injury. However, the fact that levels of circulating natriuretic peptides and cTnT are almost invariably increased in end-stage renal disease patients has been considered a major limitati...
متن کاملUse of Biomarkers in Predicting Health and Mortality
Biomarkers—biological indicators—are increasingly employed in empirical studies of human populations to understand physiological processes that change with age, diseases whose onset appears linked to age, and the aging process itself. The Behavioral and Social Research Program at the National Institute on Aging supports research investigating the link between biological risk factors and health ...
متن کاملPredicting Clinical Outcomes Using Molecular Biomarkers
Over the past 20 years, there has been an exponential increase in the number of biomarkers. At the last count, there were 768,259 papers indexed in PubMed.gov directly related to biomarkers. Although many of these papers claim to report clinically useful molecular biomarkers, embarrassingly few are currently in clinical use. It is suggested that a failure to properly understand, clinically asse...
متن کاملBiomarkers of Physiological Disturbances for Predicting Mortality in Decompressive Craniectomy
OBJECTIVE Of many critical care regimens, the management of physiological disturbances in serum is particularly drawing an attention in conjunction with patient outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the association of serum biochemical markers with mortality in head trauma patients with decompressive craniotomy. METHODS Ninety six patients with acute subdural hematoma underwent decompr...
متن کاملQuantifying the value of biomarkers for predicting mortality.
PURPOSE In light of widespread interest in the prognostic value of biomarkers, we apply three discrimination measures to evaluate the incremental value of biomarkers--beyond self-reported measures--for predicting all-cause mortality. We assess whether all three measures--area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve, continuous net reclassification improvement, and integrated discrimin...
