A prospective pilot study using metabolomics discloses specific fatty acid, catecholamine and tryptophan metabolic pathways as possible predictors for a negative outcome after severe trauma
Abstract Background We wanted to define metabolomic patterns in plasma to predict a negative outcome in severe trauma patients. Methods A prospective pilot study was designed to evaluate plasma metabolomic patterns, established by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, in patients alloc...
