A High Admission Syndecan-1 Level, A Marker of Endothelial Glycocalyx Degradation, Is Associated With Inflammation, Protein C Depletion, Fibrinolysis, and Increased Mortality in Trauma Patients

Abstract

In trauma patients, high circulating syndecan-1, a marker of endothelial glycocalyx degradation, is associated with inflammation, coagulopathy and increased mortality.
