About this study

Official title: Cognitive Impairment After Critical Illness, Links Between Sepsis, Cognitive Function and Non-resolving Inflammation

Is HMGB1 (High Mobility Group Box 1) elevated in sepsis patients for weeks after recovery from severe sepsis/septic shock, similar to what has been observed in mice? Do patients recovering from severe sepsis/septic shock suffer from cognitive impairment and is such impairment associated with prolonged HMGB1 levels in plasma? Is there a difference from patients recovering from critical illness without prior sepsis?

Medical subject headings
Sepsis, Cognitive Dysfunction
