dc.description.abstract | This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Diagnostic test accuracy). The objectives are as follows: The objectives of this review are: - To assess the diagnostic accuracy of PCT, CRP and presepsin for sepsis in adults and children. - To investigate sources of heterogeneity in the estimates of diagnostic accuracy. - To compare the performance of the above tests. | en_ZA |
