Among the biomarkers assessed in this study, C-reactive protein levels were higher in patients with septic shock compared to sepsis (sepsis, median = 14.0 mg/L, IQR, 8–22, range, 0.5–614; septic shock, median = 24.0 mg/L, IQR, 15–38.85, range, 2.3–200; mean rank difference = −123.19, p = 0.001). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Sepsis.
