Brief summary
This is an observational study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of presepsin levels to discriminate between sepsis and SIRS upon presentation with critical illness compatible with either sepsis or systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Sepsis/SIRS Patients Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female aged ≥ 21 years * Appropriate clinical data to enable classification into sepsis or SIRS * Written informed consent by the patient or legally authorized representative * Critical illness consistent with SIRS or sepsis, to be enrolled within 18 hours of presentation
Exclusion criteria
* No informed consent * Unacceptable risk imposed by extra blood sampling, such as by gross hemorrhage with a hematocrit \< 20% Control Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female aged ≥ 21 years * Does not meet clinical criteria for sepsis or SIRS * Written informed consent by the patient or legally authorized representative
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC-AUC) of the Plasma Presepsin Concentration for Discriminating Between SIRS and Sepsis | Up to 7 days | For the analysis, plasma presepsin levels on Day 0 were used and Sepsis/SIRS adjudication was made on Day 7 or day of discharge. ROC-AUC of presepsin for discriminating between SIRS and sepsis is compared to that of procalcitonin. |

Outcome results
Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC-AUC) of the Plasma Presepsin Concentration for Discriminating Between SIRS and Sepsis
For the analysis, plasma presepsin levels on Day 0 were used and Sepsis/SIRS adjudication was made on Day 7 or day of discharge. ROC-AUC of presepsin for discriminating between SIRS and sepsis is compared to that of procalcitonin.
Time frame: Up to 7 days
Population: Out of 196 Sepsis/SIRS patients, 6 were excluded due to inclusion/exclusion criteria violation and 4 were excluded due to insufficient data for Sepsis/SIRS adjudication

| Procalcitonin | Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC-AUC) of the Plasma Presepsin Concentration for Discriminating Between SIRS and Sepsis | 0.6901 probability |
