- Tokyo Guidelines 2018: diagnostic criteria and severity grading of acute cholecystitis (with videos) (2018, background): “(Level C) Although systematic reviews of the value of PCT for the diagnosis and severity grading of sepsis have been published [18, 19], a meta-analysis has found that inconsistencies in study design mean that it is not helpful in distinguishing between sepsis and non-sepsis [20].”
- Use of procalcitonin to shorten antibiotic treatment duration in septic patients: a randomized trial. (2008, methodology): “PCT was demonstrated to be more accurate for the diagnosis of bacterial sepsis than any other routinely used inflammatory marker (7, 8, 27).”
