Nonetheless, in spite of the importance of these cells in sepsis, the influence of the circulating neutrophil count (CNC) on the prognosis of septic patients with this pathology has not been properly evaluated. We analyzed the association between CNC and outcome in two cohorts of patients with diagnostic criteria of septic shock (SS) [2]: the first was recruited in the context of a single center study (EXPRESS study, discovery cohort, n = 195; Table 1), and the second in the context of a multi-centric study (GRECIA study, validation cohort, n = 194; Table 2). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient or their legal representative. The two studies were approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Hospital Clínico Universitario, Valladolid, Spain (for the EXPRESS study) and Hospital Universitario Río Hortega, Valladolid, Spain (coordinating center for the GRECIA study). 2021-03-09 2021-03-09 2014 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Critical Care, 2014, vol. 18. 4 p. 1364-8535 http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/45588 10.1186/cc13728 eng https://ccforum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/cc13728 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ © 2014 Springer Nature Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported Springer Nature
