A potential solution is a "simplified" approach, where samples are collected at the bedside and shipped to a central site for processing. While this could enhance community hospital participation, the impact of processing delays on biomarker stability is uncertain.

To address this uncertainty, the authors investigated whether delays in blood processing of up to 72 hours affect the stability of biomarkers that are commonly studied in critically ill patients.
