ROC curves for diagnosis of sepsis according to the levels of biomarkers. (A), of CRP; (B), of PCT; (C), of IL-6; (D), of NGAL. CRP, PCT, IL-6, and NGAL had discriminatory performance with an AUC of (0.98; 0.98; 0.90; 0.97, respectively). AUC = area under the receiver operator characteristic curve, CRP = C-reactive protein, IL-6 = interleukin-6, NGAL = neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, PCT = procalcitonin, ROC = receiver operator characteristic.
