Soluble CD14 subtype (SCD14-ST) presepsin levels in preterm newborns with RDS
BACKGROUND: Soluble CD14 subtype (sCD14-ST), presepsin, is an early marker for systemic inflammation and sepsis. Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is commonly associated with maternal and neonatal inflammation and infections. We aimed to elucidate the
relationship between presepsin levels and RDS in the first week of life.
