Use of a semiquantitative procalcitonin kit for evaluating severity and predicting mortality in patients with sepsis
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of a semiquantitative procalcitonin kit for assessing severity of sepsis and early determination of mortality in affected patients. METHODS This was a prospective, observational study including 206 septic patients enrolled between June 2008 and August 2009. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), Sequential Organ F...
متن کاملValidation of the Sepsis Severity Score Compared with Updated Severity Scores in Predicting Hospital Mortality in Sepsis Patients.
INTRODUCTION Recently, the Sepsis Severity Score (SSS) was constructed to predict mortality in sepsis patients. The aim of this study was to compare performance of the SSS with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II-IV, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II, and SAPS 3 scores in predicting hospital outcome in sepsis patients. METHODS A retroprospective analysis w...
متن کاملProcalcitonin: A Reliable Marker for the Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Objective(s) In the last few years, serum procalcitonin has been proposed as an early marker of infections in neonates, with varying results. In this study, we aimed to investigate the value of procalcitonin, and C- reactive protein in establishing the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods Blood samples were collected at admission from 69 neonates with suspected infection (admi...
متن کاملSensitivity And Specificity Of Procalcitonin In Diagnosis Of Neonatal Sepsis
Background and Objective: According to the fact that neonatal infection is a challenging diagnosis field, several studies have tried to test sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of procalcitonin (PCT) as a single early marker of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: In this study, 150 neonates admitted to NIC...
متن کاملPredicting Sepsis Severity from Limited Temporal Observations
Sepsis, an acute systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by severe infection, is one of the leading causes of in-hospital mortality. Our recent work provides evidence that mortality rate in sepsis patients can be significantly reduced by Hemoadsorption (HA) therapy with duration determined by a data-driven approach. The therapy optimization process requires predicting high-mobility group...
