IL6 and bacterial infectious disease: Among the 200 patients included (124 men [62.0%] and 76 women [38.0%]; median age, 62.5 [IQR, 47.0-72.0] years), the IMX-BVN-3 bacterial infection classifier had an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) of 0.84 (95% CI, 0.77-0.90) for discriminating bacterial infection at ICU admission, similar to procalcitonin (0.85 [95% CI, 0.79-0.90]; P = .79) and significantly better than IL-6 (0.67 [95% CI, 0.58-0.75]; P < .001).
