An Unexplained Secrecy Around MCC950 Revealed

High suspicion of influenza A(H1N1) infection was defined as oseltamivir treatment and/or real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sample being taken. Only patients with a MCC950 concentration positive PCR test result for influenza A (H1N1) were included in the main study population. All patients in the main study were eligible for the substudy, which was performed in four ICUs. The study period was during the Finnish H1N1 outbreak from 11 October 2009 to 31 December 2009. The ethics committee of Helsinki University Central Hospital approved the study. The informed consent was waived for data collection from patient charts in the main study. For the substudy, with collection of blood samples, a signed informed consent was obtained from the patient or next-of-kin. The Finnish Intensive Care Consortium quality database Intensium Ltd (Kuopio, Finland) provided routine benchmarking data and study-specific internet-based case report forms and data warehouse services. The collected clinical data are described in detail in the main study [10]. With routine benchmarking data we acquired age, gender, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score components, and hospital and ICU admission/discharge times, as well as ICU and hospital mortality. The clinical study data consisted of: patient demographics, details PRDX5 of mechanical ventilation, information on severe sepsis or septic shock, the number of quadrants in chest X-rays with infiltration, presence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [11] and adjunctive Midostaurin cell line therapy for acute respiratory failure and other organ failures. The plasma samples were collected immediately after ICU admission (baseline) and on the second day of ICU treatment. The samples were centrifuged in local laboratories and stored at ?20��C. The samples were transferred and stored at ?70��C until analysis. The plasma HBP was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as described earlier [1]. The detection limit of the method was 0.25?ng/mL and CV variance was
