From: Circulating microparticle levels are reduced in patients with ARDS
Circulating microparticle concentrations differed according to risk factors for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients with pneumonia had the highest microparticle concentrations, whereas patients receiving multiple transfusions had the lowest. Microparticle concentration was measured at study enrollment. ARDS risk factors were obtained prospectively by chart review. n = 27 for pneumonia, n = 61 for sepsis, n = 14 for aspiration, n = 106 for trauma, and n = 13 for multiple transfusions
