Multicenter Study
Impact of prothrombin time-International Normalized Ratio on outcome of patients with septic shock receiving polymyxin B cartridge hemoperfusion.
Although most patients with septic shock have a poor outcome, some may survive after blood purification treatment such as polymyxin B cartridge hemoperfusion (PMX). ⋯ Prolonged PT-INR is an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality in patients receiving PMX for septic shock.
