Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Changes in Syndecan-1 serum levels
Time Frame: Baseline (T0), 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours, and then daily up to 5 days (including pre- and postadsorbent samples in the CytoSorb group)
|
Serum Syndecan-1, a marker of endothelial glycocalyx injury, will be measured in arterial blood samples.
The outcome is the log-scale change from baseline to the T24 post-baseline Syndecan-1 value in ng/mL.
If the T24 value is missing, the value will be considered missing.
Negative values indicate a decrease from baseline.
Syndecan-1 values will be analysed on the natural logarithmic scale due to expected right skew.
