The relationship between serum levels of miR-342 and miR-148a and acute lung injury in sepsis patients

Key Points

• Low serum levels of miR-342 are observed in sepsis patients with acute lung injury, indicating a potential biomarker.
• High levels of miR-148a significantly correlate with acute lung injury occurrence, suggesting its predictive capacity.
• Combining serum levels of both miR-342 and miR-148a enhances the prediction accuracy for acute lung injury.
• Monitoring these miRNA biomarkers may enable earlier interventions and improved patient outcomes.
