Excerpt

The early identification of risk of developing severe sepsis in patients with suspected infection remains a difficult challenge. We hypothesized that an elevated plasma level of heparin-binding protein (HBP), a neutrophil-secreted mediator of vascular leakage, would be a predictor of delayed clinical deterioration and progressive organ dysfunction in emergency department (ED) sepsis patients. …
