The clinical usefulness of initial serum XXXX as an aggravation predictor in a @entity281 at emergency department.

@entity1 @entity281 @entity1904 @entity1851
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The ability to predict future clinical deterioration early in @entity1 who present to an emergency care center with a @entity281 is difficult. We studied the clinical usefulness of the initial serum levels of @entity1904 in a @entity281 as an indicator for predicting aggravation in the early stages. METHODS: Of the @entity1 who presented with the clinical symptoms of a @entity281 , 99 were diagnosed with a @entity281 by imaging studies and subsequently enrolled in the study. Laboratory tests were obtained in the early stage of disease after presentation to an emergency care center. We assessed and compared the serum levels of many early inflammatory markers (white blood cell [WBC] counts, @entity1851 and @entity1904 ) between @entity1 whose symptoms were initially stable upon arrival to an emergency care center but then deteriorated to, those whose symptoms remained consistently stable. Thus, we examined if the above serum markers are useful in predicting the possibility of future symptom aggravation. RESULTS: Of a total of 99 @entity1 , 27 were assigned to the symptom aggravation group. The serum levels of WBC counts and @entity1851 in the aggravation group were elevated. However, the median value (interquartile range) of @entity1904 was relatively increased at 2.28 (0.41-7.84 ng/ml), demonstrating a significant difference. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, initial serum levels of @entity1904 might be used as an indicator for aggravation in @entity1 with @entity281 at the emergency department, even though there is hemodynamic stability.
