High concentrations of circulating macrophage migration inhibitory factor in patients with severe blunt trauma: Is serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor concentration a valuable prognostic factor?

Abstract

Our data suggest that the serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor concentration is higher in severe blunt trauma and that it reflects the severity of trauma. The serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor concentration might be a valuable predictor for the outcome of severe blunt trauma.
