Sepsis is a serious clinical condition with a considerable morbidity and mortality. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a good biomarker for early diagnosis and infection monitoring. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of semi-quantitative PCT test to the empirical antibiotic initiation time, the appropriateness of empirical antibiotics and mortality in septic patients.
The hypothesis of the study are :
Study design is randomized diagnostic trial which is also a pragmatic trial.
