Systematic review and meta-analysis of humoral immunity proteins and mortality in sepsis
Purpose: Humoral immunity proteins—immunoglobulins, complement proteins, and antimicrobial peptides—have key antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions in sepsis. We hypothesised that their circulating levels are lower in non-survivors, potentially resulting in impaired bacterial clearance and persistent or recurrent infections. Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluat
