Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor for the prediction of ventilator-associated pneumonia

Introduction Diagnosing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) remains challenging. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has prognostic value in critically ill patients with systemic infection. We hypothesised that plasma suPAR levels accurately predict development of VAP. Methods...
