Comparative Study
Comparing the prognostic performance of ASSIST to interleukin-6 and procalcitonin in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.
We recently derived and validated a multi-biomarker-based model (ASSIST) to stratify patients with sepsis based on initial mortality risk. ⋯ ASSIST estimated the probability of mortality more reliably than IL6 and PCT in this cohort of patients with sepsis.
