The endothelial activation and stress index as a predictor of 28-day mortality in pulmonary sepsis: a retrospective two-cohort analysis

Key Points

• EASIX is a strong predictor of mortality, identifying those at highest risk for 28-day mortality.
• Incorporating EASIX improves risk stratification compared to traditional methods, enhancing clinical decision-making.
• This analysis examines data across two cohorts, strengthening the findings on EASIX's predictive capabilities.
• Integration of EASIX into clinical practice may improve patient management but requires further validation in diverse settings.
