Are multiple objective measures of student performance necessary?
Although the complex model has improved reliability, both models rank students similarly. However, neither model fully captures and reflects the information provided by each of the specific evaluation methods.
Troponin I was increased in >50% of septic children early in their illness. Increased admission troponin I was associated with decreased measures of systolic cardiac function, as measured by echocardiography, and correlated with severity of illness. Early myocardial cell injury may contribute to the development of subsequent organ failure in septic shock, and measuring troponin I on admission may be helpful in assessing severity of sepsis.
