Procalcitonin variation and 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 (red line) and Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (blue line) for differentiating between survivors and nonsurvivors in the intensive care unit in 147 patients with bacterial sepsis. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.713 (0.048) and 0.697 (0.051) (mean (standard deviation)), respectively (P = 0.80).
