"We have for the first time identified a group of biomarkers in the blood that are good indicators of sepsis. We have shown that it is possible to detect these markers by screening a patient's blood in the ward, a process which can deliver results within two hours. This is an extremely...

Compared with blood culturing, the preliminary data showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 60%, specificity of 98%, negative predictive value of 91% and positive predictive value of 86%.The data are discussed with respect to the significance of the molecular test for the diagnosis of sepsis. Special...
A raised or high CRP level is often the first sign of infection or inflammation – elevated C-reactive protein levels can even precede other symptoms like pain or fever. So, taking a CRP blood test means you may be able to check for markers of a range of infections and other conditions....
and 89.1% (N = 82 survived /92 infected) for BCX - & +, respectively (p > 0.05). References CONCLUSION. These findings indicate that the HR test may provide more accurate and timely results for sepsis diagnosis and risk stratification when compared to BCX. DISCLOSURES. Matt Sorrells, PhD...
Treatment assessment and patient outcome for sepsis depend predominantly on the timely administration of appropriate antibiotics1,2,3. However, the clinical protocols used to stratify and select patient-specific optimal therapy are extremely slow4. In particular, the major hurdle in performing rapid anti...

Moreover, the chi-square test depicting the correlation of sepsis with the haematological aspects was performed in this study. Additionally, the AUC for haematological parameters and established cut point for MDW was determined through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Ap-value of...
