Steroid administration, timing, and dose in patients with septic shock in the emergency department: retrospective analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort study [PDF]
The benefit and optimal timing of corticosteroids in septic shock remain debated. Most evidence comes from intensive care unit-based studies, although key treatment decisions are often made early in the emergency department (ED). This study evaluated the

Hydrocortisone fails to abolish NF-κB1 protein nuclear translocation in deletion allele carriers of the NFKB1 promoter polymorphism (-94ins/delATTG) and is associated with increased 30-day mortality in septic shock. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Previous investigations and meta-analyses on the effect of glucocorticoids on mortality in septic shock revealed mixed results. This heterogeneity might be evoked by genetic variations. Such candidate is a promoter polymorphism (-94ins/delATTG)
