Sex and age differences of inflammatory biomarkers around a bloodstream infection: a population-based cohort study
Females and males with BSI exhibited different trajectories and different peak values close to the BSI episode, in particular in females in the ≥ 50-year age group. Severe infections, such as BSI, need further investigation regarding sex differences, stratified into age groups for expected female menopause.
