Abstract

Procalcitonin (PCT) is an inflammatory induced protein indicating severe bacterial infection or systemic inflammation in critically ill patients. To use PCT for diagnosis of infection or systemic inflammation also in the postoperative period, PCT should not substantially be induced by the surgical trauma in patients with a regular postoperative course. We thus measured PCT and CRP plasma concentrations after different types of surgery in patients with a regular postoperative course.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
