PCT as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in burn patients. Whether time course has a role in monitoring sepsis treatment
A Lavrentieva, S Papadopoulou, J Kioumis… - Burns, 2012 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic performance of inflammatory
markers for septic and non septic (localized) bacterial infections in patients with severe burn.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Data of 145 patients were prospectively included in this study.
Serum procalcitonin and other inflammatory markers were measured within 24h after burn
and daily thereafter. Maximum procalcitonin (p= 0.004) was independent predictors of
outcome in logistic regression analysis. PCT thresholds of 1.5 ng/ml, 0.52 ng/ml and 0.56 …
