Clinical and Analytical Performance Evaluation of an Automated Procalcitonin Assay
Vitros PCT compares well with KRYPTOR PCT, showing excellent agreement at relevant clinical decision cutoffs that have been used for antibiotic decision-making and assessment of risk for sepsis progression. ΔPCT values determined with Vitros PCT were useful for evaluation of 28-day mortality risk in patients with severe sepsis.
