Article Synopsis
- The Omicron variant is the main type of COVID-19 affecting kids right now, and predicting how likely they are to survive in the hospital is important.
- A study looked at data from 119 children with this variant to see if levels of certain blood substances (HCT and ALB) could help predict which kids were at higher risk of dying in the hospital.
- Results showed that those with certain HCT-ALB levels were more likely to die, and researchers categorized patients into low, medium, and high-risk groups based on these levels, with higher risks leading to higher chances of death.
Biglycan (BGN), a key member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family, is an important component of the extracellular matrix. Clinical studies have demonstrated that upregulation of BGN is associated with poor prognosis in patients with various types of solid cancer. The present study analyzed the mRNA expression levels of BGN in various types of solid cancer when compared with that in normal tissues via the Oncomine database.
