Abstract

Objectives: The impact of TREM-1-mediated inflammation was investigated in different inflammatory settings.Methods: Secondary analyses of an observational clinical pilot study, including 60 patients with septic shock, 30 postoperative controls and 30 healthy volunteers.Results: Plasma levels of sTREM-1 were found to identify patients with septic shock more effectively than procalcitonin and C-reactive protein. Moreover, sTREM-1 was identified to be an early predictor for survival in patients with septic shock.Conclusion: Due to its diagnostic as well as prognostic value in sepsis syndrome, implementation of sTREM-1 measurements in routine diagnostics should be taken into account.
