The prognostic importance of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in sepsis is controversial.
Can serum BNP levels be used as a prognostic marker of severity and mortality in children with sepsis?
Can serum BNP levels be used as a prognostic marker of severity and mortality in children with sepsis?
May support BNP as prognostic marker in pediatric sepsis; leaves open validation before clinical adoption.
