Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the levels of plasma gelsolin (pGSN) in 184 neonates, comparing 92 with late-onset sepsis (LOS) to 92 controls, to determine if it could serve as a diagnostic and prognostic marker.
- - Results showed that pGSN levels were significantly lower in septic neonates (90.63 ± 20.64) compared to healthy controls (451.83 ± 209.59), and these levels correlated with the severity of sepsis and outcomes, such as mortality and organ failure.
- - pGSN levels increased significantly in survivors after their sepsis improved, suggesting that it could be a reliable marker for diagnosing and predicting outcomes in neonatal late
