CRP and Sepsis: Patients with an extreme low level of CRP (first quartile) not only had aa better survival rate, but also had a lower risk of mortality from sepsis compared to patients at the highest quartile of either the first or second measurement of CRP (6.7% and 0% of mortality from sepsis for patients at the first quartile compared to 54.4% and 47.0% at the fourth quartile of the first and second CRP measurements, Table 3).
