CRP and Sepsis: Except for platelets and total bilirubin showing significant association with gender (p-values 0.04 and 0.05, respectively), no other baseline lab showed any association with gender. Among markers of sepsis based on the SSC Sepsis Bundles 2018 [6], procalcitonin showed a significant association with the male gender (p = 0.04), while no other markers (CRP, NLR, and SOFA score) showed any association (Table 2).
