Prognostic utility of serial procalcitonin measurements in ICU sepsis: a laboratory-led modelling approach in a resource-limited setting procalcitonin modelling for sepsis mortality in a low-resource ICU
Both baseline and serial PCT measurements predicted mortality in ICU patients with suspected sepsis. Modelling approaches based on routine laboratory data may offer scalable tools for early risk stratification in resource-limited settings.
