“…It was therefore interesting to observe how copeptin and pro-ADM, strongly increased in older patients, were associated with enterococcal IE, that typically occurs with increasing incidence in the multi-morbid elderly [28]. In agreement with other studies [22][23][24], we found that PCT levels were highest in infections due to S. aureus or gram negative bacteria.…”

“…Our data fill the knowledge gap on the role of PCT in IE, where controversial findings emerged in previous studies. PCT previously appeared a useful biomarker for the diagnosis of IE, and also showed a correlation with specific bacterial etiology and disease prognosis [22][23][24]. However, other studies failed to demonstrate superiority of PCT over CRP in predicting IE [23].…”

“…CRP levels of patients at baseline and in the first, second, third and fourth weeks of the treatment were higher in patients with mortality than patients without mortality, which was statistically significant for the second, third and fourth week's CRP levels. Although many studies reported that baseline CRP was an independent predictor of death (4,5,6), few studies investigated the value of serial CRP measurements during antimicrobial treatment (7). Comparing the baseline CRP level, lower than a double and triple decrease of serum CRP level at the third or fourth week of the treatment and any increase of serum CRP level after the beginning of the treatment were related to mortality in our study.…”

“…Οι μελέτες αυτές διερεύνησαν την προγνωστική ικανότητα της τιμής του βιοδείκτη κατά την εμφάνιση της εκάστοτε λοίμωξης. Αν και τα περισσότερα δεδομένα αφορούν στις λοιμώξεις του αναπνευστικού και είναι σαφώς λιγότερα για κοορτές λοιμώξεων ουροποιητικού, μηνιγγίτιδας και ενδοκαρδίτιδας, ωστόσο όλα υπολογίζουν την AUC του βιοδείκτη για τη θνητότητα των 30 ημερών περί το 70% [124][125][126][127][128][129][130]. Ειδικά για την περίπτωση λοιμώξεων του αναπνευστικού η τιμή της προκαλσιτονίνης μπορεί επιπλέον να έχει και πιο βραχυπρόθεσμη προγνωστική αξία που αφορά στην ανάγκη μηχανικού αερισμού ή/ και χορήγησης ινοτρόπων εντός των πρώτων 72 ωρών.…”
