Fig. 4

Added value of MDW on sepsis posttest probabilities according to WBC range at presentation. A Sepsis-2 (sepsis pretest probability = 0.17). B Sepsis-3 (pretest 0.09). C Sepsis-2, low pretest probability population (CRP or PCT not ordered by emergency physician. Sepsis pretest probability = 0.065). Cutoff: WBC < 4,000/mm3 or WBC > 12,000, MDW > 21.5, and PCT > 0.25 µg/L. D low pretest probability population per Sepsis-3 (pretest = 0.043). MDW, monocyte distribution width; WBC, white blood count; PCT, procalcitonin; CRP, C-reactive protein
