REAL-WORLD DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF PSP FOR INFECTION, SEPSIS, AND MORTALITY IN SEVERE COVID-19

ABSTRACT

B Conclusions: b In severe COVID-19 patients, high PSP concentration is associated with increased mortality and presence of sepsis and infection. B Introduction: b Early identification of bacterial sepsis in severe COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU is important to timely initiate antimicrobial therapy and appropriate care.
