Serum lipopolysaccharide binding protein levels predict severity of lung injury and mortality in patients with severe sepsis.

Serum lipopolysaccharide binding protein levels predict severity of lung injury and mortality in patients with severe sepsis.

<h4>Background</h4>There is a need for biomarkers insuring identification of septic patients at high-risk for death. We performed a prospective, multicenter, observational study to investigate the time-course of lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) serum levels in patients with sever...
