Evaluation of procalcitonin versus conventional inflammatory biomarkers for clinical severity grading in patients with intra-abdominal infection
PCT correlates strongly with conventional inflammatory biomarkers in patients with IAI. However, PCT appears to offer limited additional clinical value for guiding therapeutic decisions concerning the initial diagnosis and/or severity grading of IAI in patients admitted with acute abdomen. Further research is warranted to validate these findings.
