Abstract
Phospholipase A (PLA) and Sepsis Severity Score (SSS) were measured regularly in 28 patients with sepsis (n=11), pancreatic operations (n=7), or multitrauma combined with contused abdominal trauma (n=10). No linear correlation was found between these two parameters. A statistical correlation could be shown for the paired values PLAmax/SSS or PLA/SSSmax. They lie together above or below their “critical value” of 20 points SSS or 30 U/l PLA (αPP<0.05). In certain cases PLA was the first parameter which could have shown the beginning of a septic process.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
