SOFA Score with Serum Procalcitonin Versus SOFA Score with Neutrophil/lymphocyte Ratio in Predicting Sepsis and Clinical Outcomes in I.C.U.

Sepsis remains a critical life-threatening and a healthcare challenge worldwide. Sepsis is implicated in a mortality rate that ranges between 25 - 30% in severe cases and 40-70% in septic shock, also, Post sepsis, lower quality of life was observed among survivors, therefore early prediction and a rapid therapeutic decision, are essential to improve patient outcomes. Different indicators are proposed as predictors but with different sensitivity, specificity, and availability. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of PCT and SOFA scores versus SOFA and NLR in predicting morbidity and mortality outcomes in sepsis.
