In this cohort of ARDS patients, the predictive value of two endothelial cell biomarkers (sICAM-1 and sP-selectin) at 60 days of death was determined, as well as the association with inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-17A). The gene discussed is CXCL8; the disease is acute respiratory distress syndrome.
