Soluble RAGE as a Severity Marker in Pneumonia
Soluble RAGE as a Severity Marker in Pneumonia
Plasma sRAGE levels are elevated in CAP patients. sRAGE performed as an independent factor affecting the probability of a fatal outcome. Interestingly, the SOFA score demonstrated greater accuracy with the ability to differentiate between surviving/non-surviving and ARDS/non-ARDS groups.
