The investigators enrolled 130 subjects admitted to an ICU: 30 cases with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), 36 cases with sepsis, 35 cases with and 29 with septic shock. Results for sTREM (soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells)-1, sCD163, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, white blood cell (WBC) count and SOFA score were recorded on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14.
The purpose of this study is to describe the value of serum sTREM (soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells)-1, sCD163, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, white blood cell (WBC) count and SOFA score during sepsis and their clinical informative value in predicting outcome.
