How can you use “sirs” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The present study was conducted to determine the procalcitonin level at early diagnosis (and differentiation) in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis, in comparison with C-reactive protein, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8 and tumour necrosis factor-α in an unselected population of patients suffering from a broad range of diseases in an intensive care unit (ICU).
Therefore, we selected several cytokines as well as PCT for early diagnosis (and differentiation) of patients with SIRS and sepsis.
Table 4summarizes the predictive accuracy of the laboratory variables for the specific diagnoses of SIRS and 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.
Thus, it may not be easy to discriminate between SIRS and sepsis, even with the use of PCT.
