... mean presepsin, (549pg/ml vs 3440.5pg/ml), PCT (2.17ng/ml vs 3.64ng/ml) and CRP (5.15mg/dl vs 10.41 mg/dl) were higher in group B with statistical significance (p value <0.05) ( Table 1). Further, ROC curve for analyses of biomarkers for predicting severity ( Figure 2 and Table 2) showed presepsin to have higher AUC values (0.814, p<0.001), when compared to CRP and PCT (0.749, p<0.001 and 0.718, p<0.001). ...
