Presepsin As a Biomarker for Evaluating Prognosis and Early Innate Immune Response of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients After Return of Spontaneous Circulation

Conclusions: Plasma presepsin concentrations are independent prognostic factors for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients after return of spontaneous circulation and are correlated with abnormal CD14 and human leukocyte antigen-DR expression on monocytes. Monitoring presepsin levels may be helpful for evaluating the prognosis and impaired innate immune response in the early period after return of spontaneous circulation.
