Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of plasma sCD14-ST (Presepsin) as an early diagnostic marker for sepsis in patients at a fever clinic in Beijing.
- Researchers divided patients based on their Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores into low and high risk for sepsis and measured various inflammatory biomarkers, including Presepsin.
- Results showed that levels of Presepsin and procalcitonin were significantly higher in patients with high SOFA scores, indicating a potential for these markers to help identify sepsis early in patients presenting with fever.
