Does biomarker profiling by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy improve prediction of all-cause mortality compared to established risk factors in 17,345 persons?
Biomarker profiling by NMR spectroscopy improves the prediction of short-term all-cause mortality beyond established risk factors.
Biomarker associations with cardiovascular, nonvascular, and cancer mortality suggest novel systemic connectivities across seemingly disparate morbidities. The biomarker profiling improved prediction of the short-term risk of death from all causes above established risk factors. Further investigations are needed to clarify the biological mechanisms and the utility of these biomarkers for guiding screening and prevention.
Fischer et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
