Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Platelets are believed to contribute to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) pathogenesis through inflammatory coagulation pathways. We recently reported that leucine-rich repeat-containing 16A (LRRC16A) modulates baseline platelet counts to mediate ARDS risk. OBJECTIVES: To examine the role of LRRC16A in ARDS survival and its mediating effect through platelets. METHODS: A total of 414 cases with...
