OBJECTIVE
Plasma interleukin-8 levels of <220 pg/mL have an excellent negative predictive value (94% to 95%) for death at 28 days in children with septic shock and thus may be useful for risk stratification in clinical trial enrollment in this population. Whether plasma interleukin-8 would have similar utility in adults with septic shock is unknown… (More)
