Plasma mitochondrial DNA at admission can predict the outcome of acute trauma patients admitted to ICU

Conclusion High at ED admission plasma ccf-mtDNA levels could predict development of additional morbidities during ICU stay of acute trauma patients and showed high sensitivity for prediction of their survival. Very high plasma ccf-mtDNA levels could predict patients liable to develop ARDS.
