Very proud of this work from @CUAnschutz @DeptVetAffairs

Special kudos to the matchless and brilliant @AmalGharamti for leading this work

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Image 2/ The pooled estimated mean TNFα concentration in sepsis patients was 58.4 pg/ml, and 5.5 pg/ml in healthy persons.

A TNF-α cutoff level ≥14.7 pg/mL separated sepsis patients from healthy persons with a sensitivity of 82.6%, and a specificity of 91.7%
