As clinicians trying to translate research into practice, we love simple cutpoints. It would be great if complicated medical decisions could be reduced to determining whether a single lab value was below a specific threshold, but ...

If PCT levels decrease by more than 30% of the initial value after the first 24 h from the onset of antibacterial treatment, it indicates that the treatment is the appropriate one and the infection is under control[32,33]. If PCT levels increase, it means that the antimicrobial treatment ...

If there is concern that the initial value was negative due to early stages of infection, a second PCT test can be considered within 6–24 h before discharging the patient. If PCT is elevated >0.25 μg/L, the presence of bacterial infec- tion becomes more likely and, if appropriate ...
To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end. ...
