Transcriptional Instability during Evolving Sepsis May Limit Biomarker Based Risk Stratification
BACKGROUND Sepsis causes extensive morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Prompt recognition and timely treatment of sepsis is critical in reducing morbidity and mortality. Genomic approaches are used to discover novel pathways, therapeutic targets and biomarkers. These may facilitate diagnosis and risk stratification to tailor treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE To investigate the tempor...
متن کاملCarotid Artery FDG Uptake May Serve as a Biomarker for Cardiovascular Risk Stratification in Asymptomatic Adults.
PURPOSE We investigated the relation between carotid artery FDG uptake and cardiovascular risk based on the Framingham risk score (FRS) and evaluated the possible role of FDG uptake in terms of risk stratification of asymptomatic adults. METHODS We evaluated 290 adults who underwent FDG PET/CT as part of general health screens. We calculated target-to-background ratios, corrected for pre-scan...
متن کاملReconsidering lactate as a sepsis risk biomarker
OBJECTIVES There has been renewed interest in lactate as a risk biomarker in sepsis and septic shock. However, the ability of the odds ratio (OR) and change in the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) to assess biomarker added-value has been questioned. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A sepsis cohort was identified from the ICU database of an Australian tertiary re...
متن کاملThe pediatric sepsis biomarker risk model
INTRODUCTION The intrinsic heterogeneity of clinical septic shock is a major challenge. For clinical trials, individual patient management, and quality improvement efforts, it is unclear which patients are least likely to survive and thus benefit from alternative treatment approaches. A robust risk stratification tool would greatly aid decision-making. The objective of our study was to derive a...
متن کاملRisk stratification of severe sepsis patients in the emergency department.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of the Mortality in Emergency Department Sepsis (MEDS) score in the stratification of patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with severe sepsis. METHODS Adults who presented to the ED with severe sepsis were retrospectively recruited and divided into group A (MEDS score <12) and group B (MEDS score > or =12). Their outcomes were evaluated w...
