ABSTRACT
Aim:
This study was designed to investigate how procalcitonin (PCT) levels are affected by different pathogens in patients with sepsis. Materials &methods:
A total of 110 Gram-positive sepsis, 62 Gram-negative sepsis and 27 fungal sepsis patients were included in the study. Kaplan-Meier and ROC curve analysis was performed to assess PCT levels.Results:
PCT levels were 2.36 ng/ml in Gram-negative patients, 0.79 ng/ml in Gram-positive patients and 0.89 ng/ml in fungal patients. The area under the curve for PCT was 0.608, the cutoff value was 1.34, sensitivity was 56.50% the specificity was 56.50%.Conclusion:
PCT survival levels of 7.71 ng/ml in Gram-negative patients, 2.65 ng/ml in Gram-positive patients and 1.16 ng/ml in fungal patients can be evaluated to predict survival.Palabras clave
