Plasma levels of HBP, PCT and CRP, as well as the SOFA Score, for sepsis and septic shock diagnosis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of HBP, PCT and CRP levels for diagnosing sepsis in infected people. (A) The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of HBP was 0.893, that of PCT was 0.856 and that of CRP was 0.699. (B) ROC curves for HBP, PCT and the SOFA Score for diagnosing septic shock in patients with sepsis. The AUC of HBP was 0.760, and the SOFA Score was 0.656. PCT cannot identify shock (p=0.195). CRP, C reactive protein; HBP, heparin-binding protein; PCT, procalcitonin.
