Predictive value of plasma sICAM-1 and sP-Selectins in the risk of death in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the predictive value of sICAM-1 and sP-Selectins in the risk of death in a prospective cohort of adult acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHODS: Adult ARDS patients were included. Plasma sICAM-1, sP-Selectins, and inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-17A) were detected in ARDS subjects. The correlation between different factors and the potential of sICAM-1 and sP-Selectins as endothelial markers to predict the risk of deathfrom ARDS was analyzed.
