  • ASSAY FOR DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN SEPSIS AND SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME
    Publication number: 20230416827
    Abstract: There is provided a method for distinguishing between sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in a patient, comprising: (i) determining the amount of one or more biomarker for sepsis, and one or more biomarker for SIRS in a sample obtained from a patient, wherein the one or more biomarker for sepsis is selected from the group consisting of: ITGB3, ITGA2B, MYL9, LCN2, TREML1, LCN15, CMTM5, PPBP, and PF4; and the one or more biomarker for SIRS is selected from the group consisting of: PLA2G7, ARHGEF10L, MYCL, TGFBI, and GPR124, (ii) comparing the amount of the one or more biomarker for sepsis determined in said sample in (i) to a corresponding reference value representative of a healthy individual, (iii) comparing the amount of the one or more biomarker for SIRS determined in said sample in (i) to a corresponding reference value representative of a healthy individual; wherein the patient is diagnosed as having sepsis, when an increase is observed in the one or more biomarker for sepsis, and no
