And recently, Debiane analysed 114 critically ill adult patients with cancer (51.8% solid cancer, 48.2% haematological cancer) and found an AUC of 0.77 (95% CI 0.67 to 0.87) for PCT testing for 60-day mortality prediction, which was superior compared to CRP testing (AUC 0.62, 95% CI 0.48–0.75) [25]. Here, CRP is linked to cancer.
