Finally, we examined changes in both atonic PPH and severe atonic PPH (measured using two different markers of severity) in order to ascertain if the over-diagnosis of borderline atonic PPH was potentially responsible for the increases in PPH rates.
These molecules appear to be valuable markers of severity and effects of CAI.
To identify clinical markers of severity in dengue, different from those of major hemorrhage.
We sought to define the relationship between fetal ultrasound markers of severity in CDH and the time to resolution of neonatal PH.
We retested the associations of the significant biomarkers with markers of severity and clinical outcomes and studied IL-8 as an additional biomarker given its important predictive value in prior studies.
Loss of consciousness and amnesias are dramatic signs of concussion which have historically been regarded as important markers of severity (Kelly and Rosenberg 1998).
Consistently, classical markers of severity, such as lactate level, SAPS II or SOFA score, are high in non-survivor patients in our cohort.
All the markers of severity were higher and the need of vasoactive drugs were more frequent but the differences were not statistically significant.
Unfortunately, early reliable and sensitive predictive markers of severity are not at hand for application in clinical practice beyond popular multifactorial scores [22 24].
CONCLUSIONS: Both older donor age and older recipient age plus markers of severity of disease, including requirement for mechanical ventilation and renal insufficiency, are negatively associated with survival after liver transplantation.
None of the plasma markers of severity exhibited higher levels in the lung aspirates.
