Association of pancreatic stone protein, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein increase with sepsis. Daily mean values ± standard errors of the mean for the sepsis group are from the 6 days preceding the endpoint adjudication committee diagnosis of sepsis. For the no-sepsis group, day 0 was set as intensive care unit day 7 or the day of discharge for intensive care unit stays < 7 days. The p values are for the association of clinical sepsis diagnosis with a continuous biomarker increase in the preceding 3 days (pancreatic stone protein, p = 0.003; procalcitonin, p = 0.025; C-reactive protein, p = 0.009). ns are numbers of observations per day and group.
