Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Sepsis is associated with significant mortality, yet there are no efficacious therapies beyond antibiotics and supportive care. In adult sepsis studies, PCSK9 loss-of-function (LOF) and inhibition has shown therapeutic promise, likely through enhanced low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediated endotoxin clearance. In contrast, we previously demonstrated higher mortality in septic juveni...
