Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a severe condition caused by an unbalanced immune response to infection, with varying rates of incidence and mortality globally, particularly high in Low-Middle-Income Countries like Egypt.
- Procalcitonin (PCT) is identified as a better marker for bacterial infections compared to traditional methods, aiding in the management and treatment of sepsis patients.
- A decision tree model was used to assess the cost-effectiveness of PCT-guided antibiotic treatment versus standard methods, revealing a cost of approximately 297,783.57 Egyptian Pounds per Quality-Adjusted Life Year for the PCT approach.
