Interesting biomarker for 24 hour and 28 day mortality in critically ill patients (reflects metalloproteinase tissue damage and angiotensin II activity). AUC 0.83 for 24 hour. Interestingly subgroup with elevated biomarker & ACEi use higher mortality ccforum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... #emimcc
