Granulocyte and monocyte adsorption therapy in sepsis: a propensity score-matched analysis

J Intensive CarePublished Retrospective comparative study with external controls

Authors' conclusion

In this multi-dataset analysis, patients treated with G1-DHP showed lower mortality and more favorable clinical outcomes in comparison to external controls.
