Monocyte HLA-DR expression in septic shock patients: insights from a 20-year real-world cohort of 1023 cases
This large real-world study confirms that mHLA-DR is a robust enrichment biomarker for identifying the most immunosuppressed septic shock patients at higher risk of adverse outcomes. Importantly, time-course analysis suggests that early immune downregulation may represent a physiological adaptation, while delayed and persistent immunosuppression is associated with worse outcomes. Early single time-point measurements may fail to identify patients who are unlikely to develop delayed immunosuppression. Tracking mHLA-DR trajectories after the initial ICU days is essential for detecting persistent immune dysfunction and selecting patients in case of immunostimulant approaches.
