Article Title: Immunocompromised Children With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Possess a Distinct Circulating Inflammatory Profile
doi: 10.1097/CCE.0000000000000844
Figure Lengend Snippet: Selected biomarker levels adjusted for severity of illness and acute respiratory distress syndrome etiology, compared between immunocompetent (no immunocompromising condition [ICC]), ICC without stem cell transplant (SCT) (ICC no SCT), and ICC with SCT (ICC + SCT) subjects. Biomarkers were log-transformed for regression, predicted values computed, and compared between groups using analysis of variance, with post hoc Bonferroni corrections displayed (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001). Data are presented as medians and interquartile ranges. ANG2 = angiopoietin-2, CCL22 = C-C motif chemokine ligand 22, IL-8 = interleukin-8, P3NP = procollagen type III N-terminal peptide, SPD = surfactant protein D, sTNFR1 = soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1.
Article Snippet: Candidate biomarkers were chosen based on prior literature: olfactomedin 4 (OLFM4), granzyme B, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-8, C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL) 3/macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, MIP-1β, matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8), CCL7, CCL22, IL-6, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (sTNFR1), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), nucleosomes (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), procollagen type III N-terminal peptide (P3NP; Abbexa, Cambridge, United Kingdom), surfactant protein D (SPD), angiopoietin-2 (ANG2), and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE).
