Concerning sepsis types, it was found that: lower CRP levels and prolonged hospitalization were predictive of culture-positive sepsis; higher supplemental oxygen demand (FiO2) predicted culture-positive sepsis, particularly polymicrobial sepsis; elevated leukocyte counts and ferritin levels were predictive of MDR+ sepsis; and MDR+ cultures ultimately predicted polymicrobial sepsis (Table 3). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Sepsis.
