Respiratory failure & ventilation

Novel subgroups in acute respiratory failure based on the trajectories of three endotheliopathy biomarkers: A cohort study

Acta Anaesthesiol ScandPublished Secondary analysis of a single-centre prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In ARF requiring mechanical ventilation, patients in subgroups with persistently high levels of sTM and PECAM-1 had lower rates of liberation from mechanical ventilation and higher 30-day mortality. However, patients with persistently high levels of sTM were identifiable based on the baseline level, and only the trajectory of PECAM-1 added information to that of the baseline level.
