In respect of PCT, CRP and PSP median time interval (between the septic event) and clinical diagnosis of sepsis was established, pancreatic stone protein can ‘predict’ sepsis 5 days (P = 0.003) prior while procalcitonin can ‘predict’ sepsis 3 days (P = 0.025) prior the sepsis diagnosis was established (10). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Sepsis.
