Objective To explore the value of α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) for the early diagnostic and
prognostic assessment of patients with sepsis. Methods Eighty-five patients with systemic …

Background. α‐1‐Acid glycoprotein (AGP) is an acute‐phase protein that plays a role in first‐
line defense against infection and is therefore elevated in sepsis. We tested the hypothesis …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the validity of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein as a novel biomarker for
mortality in patients with severe sepsis. METHODS: We prospectively included patients with …

Objective This study was performed to compare the predictive performance of serum
procalcitonin (PCT), N-terminal brain natriuretic propeptide (NT-proBNP), interleukin-6 (IL …

The concept of the quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) simplifies sepsis
detection, and the next SOFA should be analyzed subsequently to diagnose sepsis …

Abstract Background The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic
Shock (Sepsis-3) Task Force recently introduced a new clinical score termed quick …

Objective Assess the value of several biomarkers and disease severity scores for the
prognostic assessment of sepsis. Methods The clinical data of adult patients, who met the …

To the editor, It is difficult to diagnose sepsis in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive
care unit (ICU). A biomarker could help in sepsis identification and guide antibiotic use. A …

Objective: To determine the accuracy of International classification of diseases, 10th
revision, Australian modification (ICD-10-AM) codes in identifying severe sepsis in patients …

Purpose To prospectively assess the diagnostic value of quick Sequential Organ Failure
Assessment (qSOFA) and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) scores for …
