Risk-stratification of febrile African children at risk of sepsis using sTREM-1 as basis for a rapid triage test

Identification of febrile children at risk of death in low-resource settings can improve survival, but tools for their prompt recognition are lacking. Here, the authors show that sTREM-1 measured at clinical presentation predicts in-hospital mortality in febrile children in Uganda.
