The Prognostic and Risk-Stratified Value of Heart-Type Fatty-Acid-Binding Protein in Community Acquired Pneumonia in Emergency Department
Figure 1
Heart-type fatty-acid-binding protein (H-FABP) levels in patients with different outcomes. Circulating H-FABP level was higher in patients who died within 28 days (positive) after emergency department (ED) arrival than in patients who did not (negative) (). It was also higher in patients who required mechanical ventilation () or a vasopressor () within 6 h after ED arrival (positive) than in those who did not (negative).
