Diagnostic accuracy of procalcitonin and interleukin-6 for postoperative infection in major gastrointestinal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England（2022）
Abstract
PCT performs only moderately well as a diagnostic test for postoperative infection/sepsis in major abdominal surgery, demonstrating limited sensitivity and specificity. Heterogeneity between studies is a limitation of the meta-analysis. There is an ongoing need for a rapid, accurate biomarker for postoperative infection or sepsis.
