Research Article: Association of inflammatory biomarkers with new functional morbidity at hospital discharge in children who survive severe sepsis
Introduction:
Objective: New functional morbidity is common in critically ill children who survive sepsis; yet, the underlying biological mechanisms, particularly the impact of inflammation, remain unknown. We sought to test the hypothesis that increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers during the acute phase of pediatric sepsis are associated with new functional morbidity at hospital discharge.
