pubmed:abstractText |
Identification of postoperative patients at high risk of dying early after intensive care unit (ICU) admission through a fast and readily available parameter may help in determining therapeutic interventions or further diagnostic procedures that could have an impact on patients' outcome. The aim of our study was to assess the utility of procalcitonin (PCT) and other readily available parameters, as useful early (days 1-3) predictors of mortality in postoperative patients diagnosed with severe sepsis within 24 h preceding their operation.
