Multicenter Study Observational Study
C-reactive protein concentration as a risk predictor of mortality in intensive care unit: a multicenter, prospective, observational study.
It is not clear whether there are valuable inflammatory markers for prognosis judgment in the intensive care unit (ICU). We therefore conducted a multicenter, prospective, observational study to evaluate the prognostic role of inflammatory markers. ⋯ CRP markedly improved risk reclassification for prognosis prediction.
