About this document
Procalcitonin-Albumin Ratio in Sepsis Mortality by Hakeemullah Khan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigated the procalcitonin to albumin ratio as a biomarker for predicting mortality in sepsis patients. The ratio, procalcitonin levels, and AST levels were higher in patients who expired, while albumin and lymphocyte levels were lower. A ratio of 0.185 or above predicted mortality with 79.2% sensitivity and 81.8% specificity.
