Scientists hunt blood clue to predict deadly flu outcomes

NCT ID NCT02392858

Summary

This study aimed to find a marker in the blood that could help doctors predict which flu patients in intensive care are most at risk of severe breathing failure or death. Researchers enrolled 227 adults and children hospitalized with confirmed flu and serious breathing problems. They measured a specific protein in the blood and analyzed patient samples to understand how the body responds to severe flu infection.
