CRP velocity in infectious disorders.

Paran et al., 2009	CRPv improved differentiation between bacterial and non-bacterial infections
Nahum et al., 2012	CRPv improves the diagnostic ability of postsurgical infections from non-infectious inflammation following cardiac surgery
Povoa et al., 2016	CRP kinetics differentiates between survivors and non-survivors of ventilator associated pneumonia
Wasserman et al., 2019	Septic patients with first low CRP had increased CRPv within 24 h of hospitalization
Pereira et al., 2019	No significant association between CRP kinetics and early or late mortality and antibiotic treatment duration in patients with pneumonia
Coster et al., 2020	CRPv increased the diagnostic accuracy between bacterial and viral infections in hospitalized patients
Povoa et al., 2020	CRP kinetics is useful in identifying patients with poor outcome after community acquired blood stream infection and predict short- and long-term mortality up to a year
Bernstein et al., 2021	CRPv is significantly higher in patients with acute bacterial infections compared to acute viral infection in patients presenting with first low CRP (≤31.9 mg/L)

CRP—C-reactive protein. CRPv—C-reactive protein velocity.
