STAT

Cytokine-responsive transcription factors

Stat is medical and hospital slang for immediately, from the Latin *statim*.

A doctor ordering labs stat expects results as fast as possible: We need a blood transfusion, stat.

The urgency has spread beyond medicine: Get me those reports stat.

Separately, stat is a clipped form of statistic, usually plural: The stats don't lie.
