Prognostic and Pathogenetic Value of Combining Clinical and Biochemical Indices in Patients with Acute Lung Injury
Chest, 10/29/09
Ware LW et al. – A combination of biomarkers and clinical predictors is superior to clinical predictors or biomarkers alone for predicting mortality in ALI/ARDS, and may be useful for stratifying patients in clinical trials. From a pathogenesis perspective, the degree of acute inflammation and alveolar epithelial injury are highly associated with the outcome of human ALI/ARDS.
