As they were significantly correlated with disease severity, classical markers of inflammation and bacterial infection, as well as organ failure, high miR-133a levels were considered as independent biomarkers for unfavorable prognosis of critically ill patients. ./cache/cord-015946-biu5zxd1.txt ./txt/cord-015946-biu5zxd1.txt
