Ostrowski et al. [37] showed a correlation between syndecan-1 levels and SOFA scores across a range of sepsis severities: local infection (r = 0.40, p = 0.004), sepsis (r = 0.34, p = 0.002), severe sepsis (r = 0.28, p = 0.009), and septic shock (r = 0.60, p = 0.051). The gene discussed is SDC1; the disease is Sepsis.
