Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of biomarkers and new bioscore in septic patients in intensive care unit (ICU).

Materials and methods

A study was conducted on septic and non-septic patients in ICU. Diagnostic and prognostic values of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), Sequential Organ Failure Assessments (SOFA) score and new bioscore were analysed statistically.

Results

A total of 226 patients were enrolled in the study. In septic patients, PCT, SOFA and bioscore were found significantly increased (p = .007, p = .001 and p = .001, respectively). The AUC value of bioscore was higher than PCT and SOFA in septic patients. SOFA was found to be more significant prognostic marker than bioscore in predicting 28-day mortality. The prognostic value of bioscore and SOFA was similar for predicting 90-day mortality.

Conclusions

The new bioscore formed by combination of CRP, PCT and SOFA score may be useful in early diagnosis of sepsis.
