Diagnostic Accuracy of Serum Proadrenomedullin as a Biomarker for Bacterial Sepsis in Neonates

Key Points

• To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of serum proadrenomedullin as a biomarker for bacterial sepsis in neonates.
• Analyzed serum proadrenomedullin levels in neonates.
• Used ROC curve analysis to assess diagnostic performance.
• Compared biomarker levels between septic and non-septic neonates.
• Proadrenomedullin levels predict bacterial sepsis with high sensitivity.
• ROC curve analysis shows strong diagnostic accuracy.
• Potential to improve early detection and treatment of neonatal sepsis.
