Figure 3From: Procalcitonin kinetics within the first days of sepsis: relationship with the appropriateness of antibiotic therapy and the outcomeProcalcitonin variation in combination with Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment for differentiating between survivors and nonsurvivors. Receiver operating characteristic curves of procalcitonin variation between day 2 and day 3 after the onset of sepsis in combination with Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment for differentiating between survivors and nonsurvivors in the intensive care unit in 163 patients with bacterial sepsis. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.758 (0.048) (mean (standard deviation)).Back to article page
