Summary

This completed study involved 103 adults with septic shock, a life-threatening condition. Researchers measured levels of a protein called VEGF-A and tracked how much fluid patients retained. The goal was to see if higher VEGF-A levels are linked to more fluid buildup, which can worsen outcomes. No treatment was given; the study only observed and measured these factors.
