Diagnostic Accuracy of Cerebrospinal Fluid Presepsin vs. Procalcitonin in Post-Neurosurgical Bacterial Ventriculitis/Meningitis: A Machine Learning Analytical Approach
Puntos clave
Presepsin demonstrates higher diagnostic accuracy than procalcitonin for bacterial meningitis.
Findings indicate an accuracy of 92% for presepsin compared to 78% for procalcitonin in diagnosis.
Assessment using machine learning analytical methods reveals significant differences in biomarker effectiveness.
These results highlight the potential for improved diagnostic strategies in post-neurosurgical populations.
