Can early serum levels of S100B protein predict the prognosis of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest?
Higher levels of S100B at start of CPR were significantly associated with lower survival to admission, and not for 1-month survival.
Although there was a trend toward decreased survival in patients with multifocal NSCLC compared with patients with stage I NSCLC, this did not achieve statistical significance. Importantly, survival in these subgroups of patients with stage IIIB or stage IV disease (stage determined solely on the basis of multifocal NSCLC) is better than the survival reported in the series that formed the foundation for these staging changes. These data support complete surgical resection of multifocal lung tumors in patients with node-negative NSCLC.
