Definition of abbreviations: ACC = accuracy; AUROC = area under a receiver operator curve; ICU = intensive care unit; NPV = negative predictive value; PCT = procalcitonin; PPV = positive predictive value; PRISM III-APS = Pediatric Risk of Mortality III-Acute Physiology Score; SIRS = systemic inflammatory response syndrome.

Patients with septic shock vs. SIRS/ICU control subjects and nonsurvivors vs. survivors (age- and sex-matched samples) based on metabolomics, PCT and PRISM III-APS data.
