Role of mean platelet volume in differential diagnosis of adult-onset Still's disease and sepsis

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES: Mean platelet volume is a simple biomarker for inflammatory disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of mean platelet volume in distinguishing adult-onset Still's disease from sepsis. METHODS: We retrospectively selected 68 patients with adult-onset Still's disease...

Clinical significance of sirtuin 1 level in sepsis: correlation with disease risk, severity, and mortality risk

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (2), 2021
This study aimed to investigate the value of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in differentiating sepsis patients from healthy controls (HCs), and its correlation with inflammation, disease severity, as well as prognosis in sepsis patients.

The role of platelet to mean platelet volume ratio in the identification of adult-onset still's disease from sepsis

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: Inflammatory factors exert a significant role in the development of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) and sepsis. Although platelet counts and platelet parameters have long served as indicators for inflammatory diseases, their role in the differential diagnosis between adult-onset stilĺ...

Predictive performance of critical illness scores and procalcitonin in sepsis caused by different gram-stain bacteria

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: To compare the early and late predictive values of several critical illness scores (CISs) and biomarkers in sepsis-3 patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) and to identify the prognostic value of procalcitonin (PCT) for different gram-stain bacteria infections. METHODS: Patients with at...
