ADAMTS13 and Sepsis: Qing Zhang et al. have published data about risk stratification in pediatric sepsis patients using ADAMTS-13 as one of the markers; in this study the ADAMTS-13 levels on the day of admission were an independent predictor for a 28-day mortality from sepsis and the cut-off value of 221.58 ng/mL had a 62.6% specificity and 81.3% sensitivity [17].
