This study examines the trends of procalcitonin (PCT), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores in intensive care unit (ICU) sepsis patients from different infection sources. Elevations in PCT and NLR reflect infection severity and predict sepsis prognosis. Combining them may enhance diagnostic accuracy and prognostic capabilities, despite variations in cut-off values. The study emphasizes the significance of these biomarkers in improving sepsis management and patient outcomes.
