The Use of Procalcitonin as an Antimicrobial Stewardship Tool and a Predictor of Disease Severity in COVID-19 (preprint)

In our study, procalcitonin was associated with both antibiotic use and duration in patients with COVID-19, as well as established biochemical markers of COVID-19 disease severity and oxygen requirement, suggesting a potential role for procalcitonin in COVID-19 antimicrobial stewardship.
