Comparison between platelets to lymphocytes ratio, procalcitonin serum level, and SOFA score for outcome prediction in patients with sepsis

Background Sepsis is a fatal condition with high treatment costs, early identification of sepsis is mandatory to avoid lethal complications. The objective of this study was to compare the predictive capabilities of platelets to lymphocytes ratio (PLR) and procalcitonin (PCT) in determining the outcome of sepsis.
