Various markers of sepsis, including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8, have all been studied for their ability to differentiate SIRS from sepsis [ 4, 5, 6, 7].
Previous studies compared CRP, IL-2, IL-6, and TNF-α and PCT separately for differentiating SIRS from sepsis; in the present study, all of the available biochemical markers were measured at the same time [ 4, 7, 8, 9, 10].
In the present study, PCT appeared to be a more accurate diagnostic parameter for differentiating between patients suffering from SIRS and those with sepsis.
APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; AUC = area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CRP = C-reactive protein; ICU = intensive care unit; IL = interleukin; PCT = procalcitonin; SIRS = systemic inflammatory response syndrome; TNF = tumour necrosis factor.
For each of the time points assessed in the present study, patients were categorized into the three groups, namely SIRS, sepsis and septic shock.
